Distance: 66km, map

This first one is a shortened version of a longer 100km route that you can find here. It’s fast, varied and even has a little hill! I like this ride because you can see wind turbines almost the whole way around and because it goes just far enough north to feel like you are really out of the city. Also there is a great view of the TV tower in the distance at one point.

Distance: 47km, map

This route is a bit shorter and ridden by hundreds of Berlin cyclists, none the less it’s great if I’m a bit short of time. It takes in the fabulous Havelchausee and can be extended to include Templehof if you fancy.

Distance: 128km, map

Finally, this one is the longest of the three routes and, unless you’re really fast, you need most of the morning to do it. I first rode this one as part of the Rapha Womens 100 this summer. I’ve ridden it a couple of times since with a few variations and it’s been fabulous every time, on this ride you’ll see lakes, woods, villages and a view of the absolutely vast Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. One day I’ll write this one up properly but for now here it is.

Enjoy! Before winter sets in.
