One of the most pleasant routes on the Cape is found at the elbow of the Cape, in Chatham. Though this route is not an off road path, and it runs along main roads, it is a fine ride, totalling about eight miles in length.

In a small area, Chatham offers a number of things to see, including Chatham's famous lighthouse, Coast Guard Station, and weather facility. You can also stop at the Chatham fish pier where commercial fishing can be seen closeup, and view the breathtaking sights along the shore of the treacherous Chatham bars. The bars have become famous because of the erosion that has happened there in recent years, threatening houses and toppling them into the sea.

All of these sights and more are right along the path of Chatham's well-planned route. If you tire of biking, it is only a few hundred yards from parts of the trial to Chatham's renowned Main Street shops and restaurants. There are several parking areas along the route. Be particularly cautious along this route, as sightseers in automobiles or on bicycles may be distracted by the scenery and may not be watching for you.
