What to expect on our 5 Day/ 4 Night Trips to Fabulous Martha’s Vineyard!

(We reserve the right to substitute due to weather or availability)

Daily cycling times are about 1½ hours in the morning and the same in the afternoon and additional activities are selected from the list below.

Day 1 Pick-up at ferry terminal or island airport, check into hotel and meet for our orientation program. At this time you will receive handouts. Soon you’ll be taking the first ride on your recumbent trike, which is designed for ultimate cycling comfort! Upon return to the hotel we take a short van ride, enjoying lovely sights of the island and stop to eat a delicious dinner followed by the evening’s optional activities. Then we say Good night!

Day 2 We meet for breakfast at 8 a.m., do some warm up exercises and stretches (this is done on a daily basis), then head out for an enjoyable morning of cycling with ocean views, perhaps spotting an osprey’s nest, maybe with occupants. Lunch time is near the water’s edge for a catered gourmet lunch gazing upon a variety of boats in the harbor as well as the Edgartown Lighthouse. [Photo opportunity, so bring your camera]. After lunch we take a short and interesting walk to view the lighthouse close up and learn about the history of the base upon which is sits. Remember, every afternoon gives you options of continuing on to cycle the route for the afternoon or to do a bit of shopping, sunbathing, visiting an art gallery or enjoy the van tour. We head back to the hotel to end our physical activity with stretching, changing clothes, resting and meeting up again for dinner.

Day 3 Meet for breakfast and enjoy another morning of fun cycling. Today we will enjoy visiting the Granary Art Gallery and have lunch among the whimsical sculptures, outside, at the Field Gallery. After lunch we will ride again and have optional activities. Keep in mind; you always ride at your own pace! The support van will be there to pick you up, if wanted, as well as to provide snacks, cold drinks and other needs! Tonight’s dinner will be a fabulous lobster dinner (substitutions available for those who do not eat seafood) at Menemsha Beach, hopefully, with the decor of a lovely sunset.

Day 4 After breakfast, you set out for your morning ride enjoying the sights and sounds along the way. This afternoon, after lunch, we take a van tour up island (you’ll want to bring your camera) and explore the offerings of the Wampanoag’s, allowing time for browsing through their shops, take in a view of the lighthouse, the beautiful Gay Head Cliffs and the ocean. For those that are up to it there is a walk down the trail that leads to the beautiful beach below the colorful, clay cliffs. The van will then bring you to a very nice dinner.

Day 5 This morning’s ride will be to the colorful and infamous gingerbread cottages with a harbor-side lunch. A short van tour will be the closing event before we drop you off at the ferry or island airport for your return to the mainland, giving you time to relax and reflect on your memorable experiences of fun and comfortable cycling on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard.
