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.

The arts are essential. This is the premise upon which Cotuit Center for the Arts exists. Research bears out the undeniably powerful effect of color and sound, stories and learning, on the human brain and heart. We offer the highest quality of these in our award-winning gallery and eclectic concerts, our sold-out dramatic and musical theater productions and robust classes. We must sustain CcftA now. And for days and years to come.

Incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization in 1995, Cotuit Center for the Arts is an established, award-winning, dynamic arts and cultural hub serving Cape Cod, Southeastern Massachusetts, and beyond, hosting more than 40,000 visitors yearly for free and paid programming in our gallery, main theater, black box theater, and classrooms, and serving disabled teens and adults and incarcerated youth through our outreach programs.

Our offerings include art exhibits, live theater, concerts, classes and workshops, film screenings, and special events. We collaborate with local artists, musicians, actors, performers, teachers, volunteers, and the occasional celebrity to provide a rich experience to our audiences and attendees all year long.

Our goals at the Center are to educate, entertain, illuminate, inspire and include - five concepts that serve as the pillars of our philosophy. We strive to connect people of all ages and demographics to interesting and meaningful classes and workshops, to powerful and thoughtful live theater and music, to innovative and thought-provoking art exhibitions, and to an overall creative experience that enriches and transforms their lives.

Our calendar is jam-packed - an average week at the Center juggles approximately 130 hours of programming across ten schedulable locations on campus. Our ticket sales cover only half of our financial needs - we are supported by the contributions of our generous donors, sustained by a dedicated force of 600 active volunteers, grounded by the vision of a 16-member Board of Directors, and driven by the dedication and passion of 10 full-time and 6 part-time employees. We strive to be a welcoming hub at every level.
