========= DETAILS =========
ROUTE:
This time we enjoy not only crystal clear water but also Czech food and Beer!
Starting in Kaiserbahnhof we first head for a refreshing swim at the southern end of the Werbellinsee, one of my favourite spots in Brandenburg.
Right after (more or less, its 7km,) the swimming we can enjoy a very pittoresque and really lovely place. Surrounded by "Der kleine Maulwurf", "Soldat Schweijk" and all these figures which were (hopefully) brighten up your… younger day the "Zur kleinen Moldau" is serving tasty beer and food in a very unique atmosphere. It is a place I never left not happy!

After refreshed and filled we then head for a longer ride southbound, passing green forrests and quiet places.
A last stop is planned in the Oase Brasserie in Tempelfelde to get a coffee (and hopefully cake) before we arrive in Werneuchen.
From Werneuen we hop into the train which runs every hour and will bring us straight back to Berlin.

SPEED:
Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front.
This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat."

DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:
This is an about 55ish km ride, with mainly mixed and soft but also some solid ground.
In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me!
And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before!

MEETING POINT:
08:20 - Berlin Ostkreuz, on platform 14 for the train RB24.
I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike.
But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare).

TICKET:
It is 11,80 outbound and 5,- EUR for ABC back / person, so this time it does make sense to organise a BBT if at least 2 other ppl join me! If you're amongst them let me know!
And don't forget your "24-hour ticket bicycle VBB network" ticket which is about 7,50 EUR.

WAY OUT:
08:41 - dep. Berlin Ostkreuz, platform 14, taking RB24 to Eberswalde
09:27 - arr. Eberswalde, platform 2, switching trains
09:37 - dep. Eberswalde, RB63, platform 4,
09:58 - arr. Kaiserbahnhof Joachimsthal

WAY BACK:
18:04 - dep. Werneuchen, RB25
18:42 - arr. Berlin Ostkreuz

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling.
While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along!

And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work?
Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you!

Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it.

And in case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary.
