I might be one of the luckiest riders around. I get to train on one of the most beautiful trails in the Northeast; the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The trail begins in Dennis and winds its way up through Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. Dotted with lakes, bogs, forests and marshes this paved trail is ideal for training. While the roads around Cape Cod also offer lovely views the lack of wide shoulders for safe bike riding do not make these the best for training. The trail is very popular for tourists so savvy riders have to know the best times to go to avoid the crowds and, of course, proper etiquette is essential for everyone to enjoy the trail safely and happily.
