Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 19/20 – Tiergartenring / Tiergarten Ring

The penultimate Stage of the Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege was an enjoyable loop around central Berlin. I was struggling to get out on the bike because of blood glucose issues so this route was great for trying out new ways of controlling my blood glucose. Thankfully, I could enjoy a sunny day cycling through many parks and along different waterways.

Grand Tour de Grüne Hauptwege Stage 1/20 – Spreeweg/Berliner Urstromtal / Spree Trail/Berlin Glacial Valley

The start of a new Grand Tour is always exciting and this one would take me through Berlin’s numerous parks, forests and along waterways using the official Grüne Hauptwege (Green Routes). The first route followed roughly the path of the river Spree to connect the west and east borders of Berlin. This was a lovely Stage passing through the old towns of Spandau and Köpenick as well as the hustle and bustle of central Berlin.

Tour de Tall Stage 3/4 – Plants of Power

The penultimate Stage of the Tour de Tall took me to the extreme north and south of Berlin on the hunt for the 7th to the 4th tallest structures of Berlin. The structures were all related to power generation – mainly stacks from natural gas power plants but also impressive wind turbines. This was a fantastic cycle in Berlin with ideal conditions.

Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel Stage 53/59 – The Final S-Bahn

I finally completed all of the S-Bahn routes during Stage 53 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. This was the S3 running from West to East and I took in some brutalist architecture and cycled through the long stretches of forest. There was also a refreshing summer rainfall too on the way back to central Berlin.
