A much better day for the weather - mid 70s and not a cloud in sight. We decided to break loose with the bicycles today. Where we are staying in Nickerson State Park in midway along the Cape Cod Railway Trail, a paved track that goes 11 miles North East out of Nickerson and 11 miles
South West (for those who are numerically challenged that is 22 in total). This day we decided (more by accident than judgement) to go South West towards Brewster. The track is smooth and fortunately more or less flat (we are seriously out of condition - at least the parental element of this particular crew). We went about 7 or 8 miles and decided to lunch at some kettle hole ponds - these are fresh water ponds created from left behind large chucks (seriously large) of ice from the times when glaciers covered the Cape. The particular pond we stopped at was Seymour Pond - which had a little sandy beach and some handy picnic tables. We didn't manage to go much further when we decided to turn around - luckily there was a wonderful shop selling ice cream just by Seymour Pond.
