Touring Tuesday - Cycling on Nantucket Island

It's a little late in the season now, but you might want to take a look at cycling on Nantucket Island during the summer of 2018. The island is about 100 square miles in size, and roughly 30 miles south of Cape Cod. It's a popular summer vacation spot, and a good spot for casual, family riding. The high point is only 109 feet high, so there won't be any major climbs. You can take a 46 mile ride around the island. Be sure to allow time for sightseeing. There are three lighthouses and a whaling museum to visit. Among the artifacts at the museum is a 46 foot sperm whale skeleton.
