160 Mile Bike Ride to Cape Cod? Piece of Cake (no not really)

No joke, Kavan and I really did bike 160 miles from Cambridge all the way to Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod.  With this pilgrimage, Kavan and I can finally call ourselves New Englanders... if we wanted to :P 

Kavan has been wanting to bike down to P-town all Summer, and a couple of weeks ago we decided to make the trip.  When Kavan brought this trip idea up at the beginning of the summer I was sure there was NO WAY I was biking all the way to Provincetown.  The longest bike ride I had been on at that point was 50 miles over two days.  For this trip, I would have to bike over 60 miles the first day, then another 50 the next, and finally top it off with a "measly" 30 mile ride into P-town.  The first words that came to my mind when I thought about this were: pain, sweat, and tears.  While the trip did include a little pain and a lot of sweat, I am happy to report tears were not shed during the making of this bike ride.



The whole trip was awesome, and making it to P-town was the best feeling ever!!  Some highlights from the trip include:

Light house viewing



Whale watching.... We saw so many whales!!



Sunset

 

National Seashore Park... The sand dunes were HUGE


 Basically, P-town is the bomb...  What a great way to finish out the summer :)
