Backroad Bicycling on Cape Cod Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket

The natural beauty of Cape Cod Martha''s Vineyard and Nantucket is best appreciated from the intimate vantage point of a bicycle: sand dunes and beaches cranberry bogs and pine forests wildflower meadows and tidal creeks and above all the ever-present sea. Susan Milton has completely updated this guide to include tours on back roads and little-traveled paths. They avoid the crowds and traffic that can plague the Cape taking riders instead along scenic lanes and past quiet harbors. Each chapter includes a detailed map of the tour mile-by-mile directions and information on the area''s maritime heritage and natural history as well as places to eat stay and repair or rent a bike. 31 up-to-date maps includes tours for both mountain bikes and road bikes. The first edition of this book was titled 25 Bicycle Tours on Cape Cod & the Islands.
