Hi
How far is Cape Cod from Boston. And what route is best. Is the drive worth it? Any stops I should make?
Any help is appreciated.

93 south to Route 3 south. Takes about an hour without traffic to get to the bridge. Plymouth plantation is on the way.
Although this may not apply to you...there is now an easy way to get from Boston to Provincetown..even for a day trip.
Two companies operate high speed ferries(people-not cars) that take you from downtown boston to Provincetown in only 90 mins. Great for a dytrip and easy to take a bike with you.
Be aware that it can be another hour to get where you are going on the Cape, depending on where it is. Provincetown (which is as far as you can go, basically) is 60 or so miles from the bridge. Hyannis, which is mid cape and where I usually drive to, takes anywhere from an hour and a half to three hours, depending on traffic getting out of Boston and traffic on the bridge. But it is usually much closer to 1.5 hours.
If you are looking for a daytrip from Boston, the Provincetown ferry might be a good idea.
Plymouth plantation is probably the only worthwhile stop. It isn't a very long drive. Once on Cape there might be other worthwhile stops, of course, depending on where you are going.
