Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels — it’s a ride, not a race — meaning everyone can enjoy the day and finish at their own comfortable pace. Participants can choose from a variety of distance options while taking in a picturesque journey through eight historic Cape Cod towns, all supported by a strong commitment to rider safety along the route.

The ride begins and ends at beautiful Smugglers Beach in South Yarmouth, where cyclists are welcomed back for a lively Finish Line Celebration from 12–4 PM featuring local beverages, food trucks, and live music.

Ride with BHI

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or simply looking for a meaningful challenge, riding with Team BHI is a powerful way to support youth mental health and recovery. Each rider commits to raising a minimum of $250, turning every mile into direct impact for young people and families served by BHI.

Join the BHI team and feel supported every step (and mile!) of the way:

N
Training rides on Cape Cod to help you prepare for the distance you choose (15, 30, 60, or 100 miles), led by BHI Cycle Captain Karen Doucette
N
Guidance setting up your personal fundraising page — making it easy to reach (and exceed!) your $250 minimum
N
Rider safety tips and a chance to ride the course together ahead of event day
N
An official SSC cycling jersey for all BHI Team riders

We’re here to make the experience fun, safe, and meaningful — you bring the heart and commitment, raise $250 for youth mental health, and we’ll support you all the way to the finish line!

You can also make a difference by donating to friends, family, or community members already registered for the BHI Cycling Team to help them reach their goal!

Every dollar raised helps expand BHI’s prevention, early intervention, and recovery programs for Cape Cod youth and young adults.

Funds raised through Second Summer Cycle directly support BHI’s continuum of care — empowering young people facing substance use and mental health challenges to build resilience, connection, and hope.

Thank you for helping BHI ride toward healthier futures for our Cape Cod youth!
