Harbor To The Bay Ride Comes To Cape Cod This Weekend

CAPE COD, MA — Harbor to the Bay, an annual bike ride that raises money for local organizations supporting people with HIV/AIDS, is back for 2022 this weekend.

This year, there are two routes on Cape Cod, one that starts at the Sagamore Bridge, and the other which begins at Provincetown's Harbor Hotel. A ride is also scheduled in Boston, all with varying distances.

The Wellfleet Police Department has given a picture of what the ride may look like locally, and around what time drivers and other residents can expect riders.

"Riders will come into town on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and proceed to Rt. 6 via Lecount Hollow Rd. from the Rail Trail parking lot. From there they'll proceed along Rt. 6 into Truro toward Ptown, their final destination," police said.

"Please watch for bicyclists during the afternoon, and good luck to all the riders," they added.
