Description

Route is a point to point route, started on the western end of nantucket at beach access #1. It passes a house formerly owned by Mister Rogers right at the outset and hits the Nantucket Whaling Museum, and all three island lighthouses.  Also includes a short section of classic Nantucket Cobblestones on Main Street, wonderfully eased bike paths over the island, the re-knowned Sconset Cliff Walk, some sections on a dirt road and a lovely jaunt on the sand to bring you to the last lighthouse and finish of the run.  Short out & back sections are required to visit 2 of the lighthouses.

It includes all of the possible terrain that is available on the island and is a route that runs from the western most access, to the eastern and northern most points accessable.
