Downhill Biking Berlin

Cycle & dine - Seehof Rheinsberg

**ATTENTION: This is one of the highlights each year! A 2 days-tour with a Dinner on SAT. While there is no need to stay overnight, joining the Dinner is part of the tour.** https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749152 https://www.meetup.com/berlin-cycling/events/315749315 Please check your accommodation yourself (in case you need some, the camp ground is just a few km away)! ========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Neustrelitz > Useriner See > Giesenschlagsee > Rheinsberg LEVEL: Intermediate to Experienced DISTANCE: 50ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **IMPORTANT:** This is a 2-day tour and the idea is to cycle out there, have a delicious Dinner and cycle back TOGETHER! So please check your accomodation (or tent) before you confirm. The restaurant does offer vegetarian options but maybe no vegan (please check yourself if you prefer that). **ROUTE:** This is the yearly visit to one of the best restaurants in Brandenburg, the Seehof Rheinsberg, [www.seehof-rheinsberg.de](http://www.seehof-rheinsberg.de/) A place certainly not to be missed! Due to the ongoing fire in the Müritz nature reserve it was not clear if we could pass the originally planned route. So we will start in Neustrelitz this time and cycle "downhill", ar least mapwise.! Cycling on a relaxed route right after 10 km is the first option for a swim in the Useriner See. After that it is mainly quiet, peaceful and green (aka forrest paths). Passing the Fleether Mühle 18 km later there is a chance for a coffee and after 2 more km a last chance for a swim in the crystal clear Giesenschlagsee. From there we head the remaining 17km straight to the restaurant where we're awaited for a most delicious dinner at the Seehof Rheinsberg at around 18:00. All in all this is planned to be a relaxed tour but being there at Dinner time requires to not forget time at all. **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 50ish km ride, with mainly solid but also some forrest or 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:** 08:15 - Berlin Südkreuz, platform 4 for RE5 to Rostock I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. **TICKET:** From Berlin to Neustrelotz it is 30,- EUR regular. I'd buy a Berlin-Brandenburg-Ticket (36,50) and invite the first 4 people who get in touch to join me on that ticket. Please bring cash! All others: please feel free to organise your own Ticket/BBT. And don't forget a Bike ticket. **WAY OUT:** 08:34 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, RE 5, platform 4 09:59 - arr. Neustrelitz Feel free to hop in at any other station (I'd highly recommend not to try Gesundbrunnen, except you're short of coffee and need some extra excitment in the morning). **WAY BACK:** In case you really want to go back ;-) 20:50 - dep. Rheinsberg 22:18 - arr. Berlin Lichtenberg **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. Communication is taking place in the WA channel. Join here: https://hub.keinezeitfuerarbeit.de/join-community While we'll stop somewhere for a snack and/or coffee please always bring 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. Last but not least: 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. ========= DETAILS =========

Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - summer edition

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9.

Philosophischer Stammtisch - Für Nicht-Philosophen ohne Stammtisch-Niveau

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

We share the cost of the courts (36 €/ for 4 people). Rackets can be rented at the counter.
