I'm riding to swim!
I'm raising funds for the YMCA Cape Cod during the Second Summer Cycle! I'll be riding from Orleans to Provincetown. The Y does a lot of great things including free healthy meal distribution, affordable childcare and camp, and many chronic disease management programs. But, I am most interested in ensuring that there is a pool in Falmouth in the near future. I like to bike and I like to swim but I don't like getting up at 5 in the morning to get to a 6 AM workout over the bridge. The money I raise will go to the effort to build the Y in Falmouth
Please consider supporting my ride to swim! Thank you, Ann

Cape Cod's Second Summer Cycle
A Charity Ride Benefitting 19 Cape Cod Non-Profit Organizations
The Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels, offering a picturesque journey through 11 historic Cape Cod towns and a strong commitment to rider safety. Three distances are being offered, 33, 69, and 100 miles with the final stop being a celebration at Motta Field in beautiful Provincetown. Dance to the music of Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys, use your $30 worth of vouchers provided as part of your registration to purchase food from 4 different food trucks, to include cold beverages provided by Barnstable Brewing Company, with Second Summer Cycle cans as memorabilia!
Nineteen Cape Cod non-profit organizations will benefit from the monies generated by the riders, each of whom is asked to raise at least $250 for their non-profit of choice, or to be disseminated across all 19 charities, in addition to the registration fee.
Ample hydration and nutrition stops will be strategically positioned along the course, along with medical and physical therapy stations equipped with tents and tables to ensure participants' comfort and well-being.
Don't miss your chance to be part of the Second Summer Cycle on September 15th, 2024!
