Little Victories on the Cape Cod Rail Trail

While some nasty crashes led to premature conclusions for the international cyclists participating in the Tour de France, here on the Cape you don’t need the winning yellow jersey to get out there. With the Tour de France kicking off earlier this week we thought what better locally loved activity to discuss but cycling.

Although sprinting up the hazardous mountains of France with hundreds of cyclists on your tail sounds just great, cycling on the cape is a bit different. The ocean breeze, warming sun and quaint towns helps all of us here on the Cape slow things down and that’s exactly how we go about our cycling. With over 22 miles of paved, undisturbed track the Cape Cod Rail Trail travels from Dennis through Brewster and even over to Wellfleet.

Earlier this week a member of our NEVR Team, Joanne, rented bikes for herself and friends who celebrated their victory with Bloody Mary’s and Goombays at the Beachcomber in

Wellfleet-- close to the Trails end. Simple triumphs like this are what make life taste so good, and the drinks definitely don’t hurt either. It is thru that the art of happiness is perfectly imperfect; however, the one proven fact is that these little moments are worth enjoying.

Jimmy Ponte, our friend down at Chatham Hood Bikes, spoke to us earlier about the benefits of cycling. With both mentally and physically rejuvenating qualities, Jimmy says he most enjoys making families and his bike renters happy. So if you find yourself daydreaming of the Tour de France while pedaling past ponds, open fields and spectacular views on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, trust us we won’t tell!
