Route Map

https://www.strava.com/routes/4969753 has the new map for the route. This year will be different from the last few years. We will take our time on this route. The difficulty level is not high. There are some bits with moderate traffic.

We will roll into Edgartown. We will pass by the Jaws Bridge on the way to Edgartown.

We will take the Middle road on the way to the western part of the island. This is one of the more scenic spots and it features good pavement.

We will have some coastal riding around the area of the Native American reservation. We will stop for lunch at the reservation.

Please ask any questions. Ask mentioned previously it is recommended that you park on the Shining Sea Bike Path and ride to the ferry building. This will take less time than trying to ride the bus from a ferry parking lot.

We will take the 3:45PM ferry from Oak Bluffs to return at approximately 4:30PM. An earlier ferry will run from Vineyard Haven at 2:30, if we make that ferry.

Thanks,

Bill
