This coming weekend is the
PAN MASS CHALLENGE. Biking is extremely popular here in the summer. I have to be extra careful when I drive Long Pond Road, the so-called extension of the Cape Cod bike trail, in order to avoid hitting bikers. B&B guests often come with precious high-performance bikes or rent regular ones and, at least once during their stay, follow the trail between South Wellfleet and Orleans. It matters to visitors what condition the trail is in.
This is why anyone planning to bike while on vacation should know about an article in the Globe, warning of
possible impediments. Bikers will also be interested to know
Truro may decide to create a Route 6 corridor which will extend to the border with Wellfleet. The Cape bike trail was created in an old railroad bed. The trail could not continue through the village of Wellfleet because the lots were sold off and are in private ownership now. Some Chez Sven guests, eager to reduce their carbon footprint, access Cape Cod by ferry, a sensible choice in high season when drivers sometimes have to wait several hours for the pleasure of crossing the Sagamore Bridge. A bike trail between Truro and Wellfleet would make a difference to these folks. And, what say you to between Truro and the head of the trail in South Wellfleet??? Are you like me? Do you worry about hitting bikers on Long Pond Road? What is your favorite place to bike on the Outer Cape?

And, by the way, that path looks excellent. We have Rails to Trails paths in Arizona also. One I'm thinking of, in particular, is in Prescott. Called the Peavine Trail, it's not paved. It's an amazing ride along a lake, the historic rail line that serviced the old mining camps, and magnificent rock formations known as The Dells. I love that ride and the history that comes with it.

The CCRT is wonderful! We also did the trail at Head of the Meadow to High Head this week---an easy two mile run that brings you to the dunes and ocean at HIgh Head where you can see the seals resting at low tide. Quite amazing. But the bike trail is in need of serious repairs and repaving, making for quite a bumpy ride!
