Looking for your first bicycle touring experience outside Quebec? Gendronvélo can organize the perfect trip for you. Our comfortable coach has a trailer designed to transport your bikes with the utmost care.
In Falmouth, a small colonial village by the sea, you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs with a 30-kilometer loop. The next day, you’ll have the chance to explore the magnificent historic island of Martha’s Vineyard, with its Victorian architecture and numerous small deserted beaches. On the final day, you’ll take the Cape Cod Rail Trail to the uniquely charming town of Provincetown.
At the end of the trip, you’ll be immersed in the magnificent sand dunes of Cape Cod, my favorite part of the tour! A cycling experience you won’t soon forget.
