Our other favorite ride on the Cape is in Provincetown at Race Point. It is easy to get to. Just drive up route 6 until you reach the end of land. There will be a sign pointing to Race Point which has parking and rest areas.

The ride is a bit more challenging than the Rail Trail due to many hills, but it is a lot shorter and you can combine the bike ride with the day at the beach. It winds through some of the loveliest lands in all of Cape Cod.

The loop trail is only a brutal 5.45 miles, but the Herring Cove Beach spur can add 1.1 miles (one way), Bennett Pond Spur (.25 miles one way) and the trip from the parking lot at Race point beach (.5 miles one way) allowing you to peddle 10 miles, half of which will be up hill.

There is a Visitor's center and a coast guard museum at Race Point that is worth a visit if you are interested in shipwrecks and how people rescued the sailors.
