Where in the World?

After a lazy morning, fueled with eggs, turkey andouille sausage and coffee we headed out on our bikes for a 15.3 mile tour from Truro to Provincetown and then through the dunes in the Cape Code National Seashore. The temperature was a nice balance between not too hot and not too cool. A steady cool breeze blew continually and helped to keep us from getting overheated.

According to historical records, the Pilgrims actually first landed somewhere on the beach between Truro and Provincetown and not where Plymouth Rock is located. I didn’t know this. It’s funny how facts get distorted in their re-telling over the years.

We headed first to Provincetown for an iced coffee and then we took a short detour out to McMillan Pier and watched the boats for a little while. Following the road through town took us to Herring Cove. From there it was about three miles through the sand dune trails to Race Point Beach where we relaxed for a bit on the sand and had some lunch.

I love to bike ride, especially downhill, but it was a struggle as I’m not in shape as much as i would like, but, I was able to push through it.

After the beach, we had about a six mile ride back to the house in Truro. It wasn’t quite as intense as the dune trails as it was mostly roads. Thank goodness!

The evening consisted of playing cards and eating a lot. Hard to beat that, especially when you are winning almost every hand.

Overall, it was a fantastic day.
