Sandwich to Providence (Memorial Day 3/4)

The ride

On Sunday, we retraced our steps going back to Providence. We crossed the scary bridge! We rode alongside the canal trail, where we saw a train cross the Cape Cod Canal Railroad Bridge. We made it back to Wareham, where we stopped at the Riverside Cafe. As we pulled up, a couple on a tandem was pulling out. They told us, “the food here is great.” It was.

The folks who worked there were wonderful as well. They were curious about where we were going and how far. When my sister asked for a water bottle refill for the road, they asked if she wanted ice. If you’re passing through Wareham on bicycle, check out the Riverside Cafe.

We took the rest of the ride slowly, pausing a couple of times. Cars continued to be exceedingly nice, pulling all the way over to pass. A woman in the oncoming lane even stopped to let the car behind us pass in the left lane. I was equally amazed by when we got back into Providence and a woman stopped at a green light, unprompted, to let us run our red light.

Despite a small detour due to a road closure, we made it the rest of the way without major issue.
