Bike Trip on Martha’s Vineyard

By Mark

The purpose of the bike trip was for us to bike to various towns on Martha’s Vineyard from a campsite. First, everybody congregated at the church on Saturday morning, where we then drove for a while to reach the ferry that would be taking us to Martha’s Vineyard. The ferry was more than three stories high, and had a variety of good foods at the snack bar. After the short trip, we arrived at the town of Vineyard Haven, where we rented bikes and then took a short but scenic route to our campsite, which was near an enormous construction site. Once there, we quickly set up our tents and other gear, then had lunch. After lunch, we decided upon a visit to the highlight of the trip, which was the fudge and candy shops in the nearby town of Edgartown. After a surprisingly long and scenic bike ride involving bad map reading, we reached Edgartown. Now that we were there, we indulged in the scenic views and food present. We then took a much shorter return journey to our campsite, where, after having a delicious dinner of steak tips, we went to sleep. The next morning, we quickly packed everything up, and took a shorter bike ride to the town of Oak Bluffs. Once again, we enjoyed refreshments and then biked back to Vineyard Haven, where we gave up our bikes grudgingly, before getting on the ferry. It was then just a short ferry ride and long car ride back to home. Overall we had ridden 27 miles.
