Cape Cod Trekkers’ Journey Ends In Boston
We had a wonderful last day eyeing each other in suspicion and feeling out the quarantine squared isolation zone. We made our ferry, where we all had a nap with the salt spraying in our faces. Getting to Boston felt bittersweet, but what was sweeter and not so bitter was celebrating the end of the […]
Cape Cod Trekkers Have a Needed Bike-free Day
We woke up in the morning and and learned that Otto and Paulotta had caught a mysterious stomach bug, and they had stayed up the whole night not feeling great. Jaya, Sasha, Lachlan, Roman and Jack all slept well. Jasper had gotten very little sleep because he stayed up with them for emotional support, and […]
Cape Cod Trekkers Ferry to Hyannis and Ride the Cape Cod Rail-to-Trail
We left the campground today after eating cereal, yogurt, and blueberries with honey. We cruised through the neighborhood with gingerbread houses, stopping to check out the rocking chairs and décor. We caught our morning ferry, had some snacks, and took a nap to the rocking of the boat. When we arrived in Hyannis, it was […]
Martha’s Vineyard Offers Plenty to the Cape Cod Trekkers
7 am started with breakfast – eggs and sausage made by our amazing leader Sam. We headed out to the touristy Edgartown where we got milkshakes, then we went to the beach which was very crowded but still fun and we got less sunburnt today. After family pictures we headed back into town and got […]

Cape Cod Trekkers Cross the Canal and onto the Cape
Day three. 20 miles until Cape Cod. Easy pack up and easy start off. We had stayed at a lovely, neighborly camp site. And then we left. Said our goodbyes to our new friends and gave them our extra wood. Off we were to the Cape. 20 miles to the beautiful bridge. Sagamore bridge that […]

Cape Cod Trekkers’ hilly last cycling day
We started out with a very hilly street out of Myles Standish State Forest. We then continued onto Market Street, which took us to Plymouth Rock and museum which we explored for about 1 hour before leaving to do some miles by the bay before arriving at Dunkin’ Donuts for a pre lunch snack-while still […]
