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/
