At the very end of P-Town is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Its the last stop before you hit the Atlantic. Around these protected lands, there are miles and miles of bike trails through the woods, the dunes and more. Speaking with people from our church, we were highly encouraged to do it, but were told it was very tough and might be too much if we had the kids in tow. We decided to try it anyway, and if it proved to much, we would just head back.
This was the first sign that we ran into....strange thing is that a woman who was standing near me while I read the sign, commented that the number had just been 22 last week. Seems nine people really got in a jam in one week. Made me a little nervous, I'll admit.
We had the kids in trailers, since we thought that would be easier than having them on our bikes.
Heading out...
This doesn't do it justice, but these are the dunes we were riding through. Sometimes the dunes were 20 ft high on each side...purely breathtaking.
There are a lot of turnoffs and loops on the trails. Felix just making sure we were on the right trail...notice he is the only one WITHOUT a helmet...will someone please talk to him about this?
Lucas asleep...
The course was definitely challenging at times, but totally doable. There were two steep hills throughout the ride and Felix and I took it as a challenge not to get off our bikes. The last one I was sure I wouldn't make it up, but I guess my training paid off, because as painful as it was, I got to the top just fine.
After a quick bite to eat in town, we headed back to the hotel for some pool time. A very full and fun day overall.
