Cotuit Cyclist for the Arts
Welcome to Cotuit Cyclists for the Arts. Free easy paced bike rides on Cape Cod!
Second Summer Cycle - Sunday, September 13, 2026
Thank you to everyone who made our 2025 Second Summer Cycle such a success. Team Cotuit showed up in force—with 52 riders raising over $60,000 to support Cotuit Center for the Arts. That kind of community impact makes a real difference in keeping the arts accessible and vibrant across Cape Cod.
Now we’re gearing up for an even stronger 2026 ride—and we’d love to have you with us.
Second Summer Cycle continues to grow as Cape Cod’s premier charity bike ride, bringing together riders, volunteers, and supporters to benefit dozens of local nonprofits. The event is designed to be welcoming, well-supported, and meaningful for everyone involved.
What’s new (and better) for this year:
- The same start and finish location at Smugglers Beach—no complicated logistics
- A new 15-mile ride option, making participation more accessible than ever
- Training rides across the Cape to help you get ready and connect with fellow riders
- Continued focus on rider safety, with route support, hydration stops, and on-course assistance
Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels, offering a picturesque journey through 8 historic Cape Cod towns and a strong commitment to rider safety. Four distances are being offered, 15, 34, 60, and 100 miles. The start and finish is at beautiful Smugglers Beach in South Yarmouth where there will be a Finish Line Celebration from 12PM-4PM, including local beer, food trucks and live music.
Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, there’s a route—and a community—waiting for you.
