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.
Stage 50 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel was a very eventful Stage! Nick had to abandon another Stage due to a flat tyre and I forgot to inject bolus insulin leading to very high blood glucose.
The U8 was the backbone of Stage 42 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. This was very much a modern history tour by crossing along the path of the Berlin Wall and cycling by many of the “ghost stations” during the Cold War.
Time for the Queen Stage of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel! I tackled two of the longer S-Bahn routes (S46 and S8) plus a bus route for the longest Stage of the Grand Tour.
This is first edition of a new series – NinJa Cycles – where Nadja and I head out to explore together! NinJa is our couple name by the way. In this ride, we went to the lovely Falkenhagener See and explored the Spandauer Forst around Eiskeller in Spandau.
Nadja joined me for the first part of the Stage 37 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. This was a decidedly social Stage, as we had lunch with a friend in Kladow before parting ways. Only for me to get lost in the abandoned barracks of Krampnitz!
Stage 34 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel looped around the districts of central Spandau plus some stops in Brandenburg to spice up the Stage.
It was peak cherry blossom time for Stage 31 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel so I completed a Stage that maximised the cherry blossom experience. Plus visiting most of the transport hubs of Berlin on a beautiful spring day.
Strausberg, aggro-stork and sightseeing were all part of the Stage 21 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. It was also a long stage with extremely well-behaved blood glucose!
Stage 17 of the Grand Tour de Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel made a special visit to neighbouring Potsdam. Here I could take in some of the impressive Potsdam palaces, parks, water ways and university campuses. Plus the added bonus of the Havelchaussee – THE cycling road in west Berlin!
