Another lovely day, temperatures in 70s. After our first proper New England breakfast we were ready to tackle The Cape Cod Rail Trail. A 22 mile cycle path,starting at South Dennis and continuing to Wellfleet. Hired a tandem, where they suggested we might not have enough time as they closed at 5. The route was an old rail track and has been recently been upgraded, lovely smooth tarmac all the way and flat. Needless to say we did the outward trip quickly, had some lunch outside a bakers, and returned nearly as quickly. 44 miles of enjoyable cycling. Lots of people out on the route, all ages, families, road bikes and a surprising number of recumbents. We went past a lot of Cranberry fields(?).
We returned to the Inn in time for fresh lemonade and cookies. Then a walk down to the beach, miles of White sand,
need to explore this bit more. We have seen a lot of old renovated big American cars driving around this evening. They look great, immaculately turned out. I'll try and find out some more about them. Full moon tonight, and Jupiter will be seen very close. Looks like another clear night so will have a look.
