Berlin is a ridiculously bicycle friendly city, but riding out of town on a bank holiday it even got a bit crowded.
The route out of town takes in some great architecture, pleasant scenery and a great view at Wannsee after going through the lovely Grunwald. Looking out at the lake I almost cut up someone on a road bike, which were out in force.
Potsdam added to my historical weekend. It is a beautiful town dominated by the old and golden town hall. After here it gets quieter as the city fades into the distance.
Riding with Pat and the couple of days off have definitely made be fitter. All the complaining about the pace he set was not in vain.
Belzig is definitely a place worth visiting if not staying. For a start there is little budget accommodation, with two average hotels charging more than they were worth. The staff in one made Russian service look friendly.
The view from the castle is absolutely beautiful though. If you have the money it is worth staying here. There was also a local play being rehearsed within the walls.
