    PCCS Partners with Local Bike Shop

    The Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies (PCCS) and Gale Force Bikes would like you to know about a new activity in Provincetown. Join us for a PCCS naturalist led bicycle tour through the outer dunes of Cape Cod. Learn about the natural environment and history of Cape Cod and Provincetown while supporting marine mammals and coastal conservation at PCCS.

    Bike tours will be held on Mondays at 4:00 p.m., beginning June 21, 2010. The guided tour will start at Gale Force Bikes (144 Bradford St Extension, Provincetown - Corner of West Vine) and will cover approximately 14 miles of fairly hilly terrain over a period of 2.5 hours. The tour will be conducted at a relaxed pace and will have several stopping points to take in the views while your tour guide provides information about the natural environment of the surrounding land and sea. Learn about the unique flora and fauna of the second oldest public lands in the nation. Hear stories of the early settlers and find out what makes this land so special.

    Riders are expected to have good cycling skills in order to complete the hilly 2.5 hour, 14 mile tour. The price is $40 including a bicycle (lock and helmet included) or $30 if you bring your own bicycle. Price for PCCS members is $35 (including bike) and $25 (excluding bike).

    Each bicycle tour is limited to 10 participants. To make a reservation for the bike tour, contact Gale Force Bikes (508-487-4849). Reservations require a deposit paid by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover). Deposit refunds will be made provided cancellation is made at least 48 hours before the scheduled tour date. Walk-in tour participants without reservations will be accommodated on a space-available basis.

    The Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies (PCCS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting marine mammals and ecosystems in the Gulf of Maine and beyond through applied research and education.
