2025 Rides

The Coastal Loop and Marshfield Hills rides have started again for 2025. The Halifax routes return in April as well.

PMC:  Steve Ropes and Wesley Brooks are each riding the full Pan Mass Challenge this year.  Steve’s page is at https://profile.pmc.org/SR0383.  Wes’s page is at https://profile.pmc.org/WB0117.

QUABBIN: We will roll the Quabbin loop on 6/22/25.  This ride gains our highest VAM rating of the year.  This is a fun tour.  Please register on Strava. The Tour goes on some good rollers around the Quabbin.  We will meet for lunch at the Steaming Tender after the ride.

WESTPORT: Our club century will be on August 3.  This is essentially a self supported tour.  We will stop at coffee shops and convenience stores.  We hope to have several speed groups that will stay together and support each other.  Please register on the strava.

P2P: We will have our annual club ride  from Plymouth to Provincetown on August 30.  Please register on the Strava Page. This will be the 8th consecutive year.  Many thanks go to Steve Ropes for making 2024 P2P a success.  Tracy Hubbard, Liz Malone, and Vito Visconte have helped for many years as well.  We are always looking for new people to help run the club events.  Help make it your own!

New Tshirts

South Shore Bikers Geared Up and Ready to Ride Thanks to Owayo!
We’re pumped to show off our T-Shirts for South Shore Bikers just received the gift – custom cycling t-shirts from the awesome folks at https://owayo.com.

From the moment we unboxed these shirts, we were really impressed by the quality. The fabric is super comfy and the fit is perfect. The best thing is that we designed the t-shirts ourselves! We tried our best to capture the essence of who South Shore Bikers are with a design that’s both bold and stylish.

We’re all about supporting brands that get us and our passion for cycling, and Owayo understands what makes for awesome cycling apparel.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some miles to cover in our sweet new threads! See you on the road!

PURCHASE YOUR TICKET AT CAPTAIN JOHN’S WEBSITE. Rides rain or shine.

The club’s annual ride to Provincetown. We ride through the Cape and the take ferry back to Plymouth. Parking is at the Jenny Grist Mill parking lot. This ride is for all abilities. You must be able to reach Provincetown by 4PM. We will ride in groups, together.

There will be a SAG. Your membership pays for the SAG and the food at the rest stops.

Ride starts promptly at 7 AM. Please be in the parking lot by 6:45am. You need to have your bag in the SAG car. You will get your bag at the beach at the end of the ride. We ride past Ptown to the end of the land. We will reach the beach. The swim is worth it. Watch for sharks !!

There will be several different speed groups. You should be able to maintain a 16mph average in order to make this an enjoyable ride for you to experience. Slower riders will be in smaller groups. The ferry leaves later and allows you more time to complete the ride. We expect to have 2 major groups with rotating pacelines at 16 and 18 mph. No E-bikes are allowed on the Captain John Ferry.

For our route we will use the service road. The route has been modified to change the usage of the bike trail. We will not take the entire bike trail. There is a paralleling road which was repaved and now includes a grade separated bikeway plus on road bike lanes. We will use the repaired roadway and merge with the bike path near the 2nd rest stop. The GPS file will go to the end of the cape at Herring Cove beach. The annual tradition as started by the V is to make a swim in the water. There are free showers at the beach.

The SAG wagon will transport 1 SMALL bag for each rider. You can have a change of clothes and a towel.

The return ferry is at McMillian Pier.

You must register for the event prior to the ride on the Strava Event. Purchase your boat ticket at https://www.captjohn.com/
