    What to do in the Cape on the bike?

    The miss's and I figured we'd take the SV down to the cape today. Myself only been there once haven't the slightest clue on what there is to do down there except some nice semi twisty roads and really nice scenery. Anyone have any suggestions on anything to do down there? We may spend the night i'm not sure. We'll be leaving in a few mins but i'll be checking this thread every so often today with my phone.

    thanks for any info

    What to do in the Cape on the bike?

    Youre wise to go now, as the summer season is over, and all the tourists are gone for the most part. Yet, most if not all businesses are still open. The Cape has become more year-round than it was 20+ years ago. It still shuts down, but not as much. Try going to Eastham and visit Coast Guard beach. If yer thinking of taking a dip in the Atlantic, they have showers there too. Or head down to Truro. Stay away from the upper Cape such as Dennis and Hyannis, etc. Way too overdeveloped and mostly devoid of that "Cape Feel." Try riding Rte. 28 into Brewster. Or head down to P-Town at the tip of the Cape. Very scenic and very gay! LOL. Or just take some side road and follow it to the shoreline for some other dunes and beaches. Have fun!

    Try this: http://www.capecodchamber.org/Cape_Cod_Beaches.asp
    The tabs at the top offer other info on what to do, where to eat, etc.

    Thats about the best advice for riding on the cape. I grew up down there as well. Not a very great place for riding.

    Party poopers!! Ok, the Cape can be a pain in the ass, but it has its good points too. Ya just have to know where to look...especially, like I said....its post-summer now. Ive always had good luck and Ive been going there since I was a kid. Its all in the perception, I guess. There's SOME good in the Cape! Hell, I got laid on a beach there! (sand wasnt a factor, either!) LMAO!!

    Watch out for the Fuzz down there, they are all over Sport bikes like White on rice, i was down there a few weeks ago coming outa wendy's and i got stopped and questioned about someone doing wheelies and running.. when i used to live down there i used to get stopped like every other night with some bullshit excuse as to why i got stopped, or becuz someone else was running from the Police.. so don't Screw around they give no breaks there are alotta Trouble makers down there that give Bikes a real bad name with the locals..

    it was 26bux each way for the ferry. so peaceful out there, roads weren't anything special but scenery was awesome. We're gonna head over towards hyannis tomorrow and gonna make a full round trip of the cape. Hopefully i'll have a good collection of pics when i'm done.

    Sweet Dude.
    Don't always listen to these home boys advice anyways
    I lived 13 years on the island and 9 on the mainland ( Cape)
    And all of them where nothing but shits and giggles.
    Have fun , ride safe and watch out for the idiots taking lefts in front of you.
