Publisher's Synopsis
The Cape Cod Bike Book is written from an "insider's" view, by a local resident who knows all the ins and outs of Cape Cod, all the back roads, and all the things to see, with the intent of sharing some of these wonderful locations for more to enjoy. The book focuses on trails for families to enjoy the journey, not just getting to the destination. All the main bicycle trails on Cape Cod are included as well as custom routes that will get you off-the-beaten path and seeing some gorgeous Cape scenery that others may miss. There are trails or paths in each town of the Cape. Information is provided about facilities, points of interest, history, ecology, where to stop, what to see just a short way off the main path, etc.
Detailed directions and parking locations are provided for each trail. In addition, QR codes bring you to custom shareable maps for every route in every town. These electronic maps can be viewed right on your cell phone wherever you are, even if the book is back at the car - and they can be zoomed, viewed in either satellite or map view and can be saved for use anytime, anywhere. They also provide a direct GPS route on your phone from wherever you are, right to the trail parking, making for an awesome connection of the printed word with your cell phone's modern technology!
On Cape Cod, there is something for everyone on wheels. It is often said that every town, indeed every village in every town on Cape Cod, has its own character, its own charm. From easy, level paths to challenging and longer routes, from quaint Woods Hole to sometimes foggy Chatham and then to sundrenched Provincetown, there is bicycling on Cape Cod to suit everyone's temperament. There are so many fantastic places to bike on Cape Cod!
But wherever you bicycle on Cape Cod, don't race from place to place. Stop to enjoy the surf, the sand, and the scenery. Explore and enjoy!!
