========== FACTS ==========
========= DETAILS =========
ROUTE:
Starting in Rathenow we have a very flat tour ahead of us. The first stop is planned after some 10km at the GastHof Milow which is known for serving very delicious fish. Just in case there might not be enough seats available we will head further to Plaue, passing the Plauer See and then have plenty of other opportunities to sit down, look across the water and enjoy some food and a drink… or two.
The final route depends on mood and weather!
After ~45km we will arrive the main train station in Brandenburg/H where we can hop into any RE1 coming.
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 45ish km ride, with mainly solid but also some soft 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:
09:20 - Berlin Südkreuz, at the NORTHERN ticket machine (facing the TV tower) on platform 6.
I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike.
But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare).
TICKET:
It is 23,60 both ways / person, so this time it does make much sense to organise a BBT. I will get one if at least one other person wants to join me!
And don't forget your "24-hour ticket bicycle VBB network" ticket which is about 7,50 EUR.
WAY OUT:
09:44 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, platform 6, taking RE4 to Stendal Hbf
10:04 - arr. Rathenow, platform 1
WAY BACK:
17:04 - dep. Brandenburg/H, platform 3, RE1 to Frankfurt/Oder
17:38 - arr. Berlin Wannsee, (ME) switching trains to S2
18:01 - arr. Berlin Friedrichstrasse
OR any other train at :04 or :44
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.
