I've been wanting to do the Mauerradweg, a bike tour around former Western Berlin along the former Wall, for two years now. It's 160 km and I want to tackle them in one go. I'd never even try if there was no way to abort early, but there are city train stations every now and then so that's no problem.

If I'm gonna try I won't do so in less than stellar conditions. This is crazy enough, I don't want to be battling strong winds or rain on top of it. It has to be light long enough to give ample time, so summer. 30°C and beyond do not sound like fun, however. Also, preferrably, not that time of the month. Not as easy as you might believe it to be...

Today's forecast's perfect, I discovered last Sunday. Got some provisions, got the map, got all excited.

Not gonna happen. Because I just woke up to find my arm hurting like it hasn't in weeks.

Don't know the words to swear as much as I'd like to.

In case you were wondering, being hailed upon all of a sudden is no fun at all. What's more, being hailed upon while riding your bike is even less fun. And, guess what, being hailed upon while riding your bike on a busy road is spectacularly little fun.

Bridges, however, are your friends, so be sure to always treat them well.
