P2P 2025 Recap

We had a great ride. Some lessons were learned about the logistical plans for 2025. We might run 2 SAG vehicles in 2026. We had a lot of riders, today, with 27. The route was actually a bit shorter than last year’s version. The distance to the showers and the beach is 82 miles. I only gained 2000′ feet in elevation but some had 4,000. We did not ride on the worse section of the bike trail with massive frost heaves. It’s great that they paint the heaves for visibility, but it’s rough riding.

I rode in the B group. We jumped into the water at Herring cove beach. They released baby dolphins at the same time !! It was great to reach the beach before 1PM. It’s nice not to be rushed at the end and hurrying for the boat. Greg and Evan rode with me in the B group for the whole way and were sold riders. This was Evan’s longest ride with the club. I really enjoy tour riding.

Some of the crew went to the Basement and had an OAR-G!!

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/
