We’re very excited to announce a new European Brother in the Wild date – this time The Gentle Jaunt is partnering with the good guys at Brother Cycles.
The event will be a 2 day ride and 1 night campout starting and finishing at the Gentle Jaunt shop in Friedrichhain, Berlin. The route will take you South East out of the city where the terrain consists mostly of fire roads, gravel trails and single-track that winds through a stunning forest landscape.
The ride will finish at a private campsite on the banks of the River Spree where you can swim and cool off after a day on the bike! That evening we’ll provide a BBQ dinner and some beers for you to enjoy as you kick back and relax around the campfire.
On the second day, after breakfast, you will embark on a new loop heading back into Berlin – including more of the region’s finest gravel tracks and quiet country roads. Those not wanting to ride today have the option of taking a local train back into the city.
The route will be approximately 70km each day on mostly gravel roads – we therefore recommend an off-road capable bike with 33c tyres or larger.
Tickets cost £35 per person and include the following:
– Entry to the ride including gpx files for the suggested routes
– A pitch at the campsite for 1 night on the 31st August
– A welcome beer at the campsite
– A BBQ dinner and breakfast at the campsite – meat and vegetarian options available
We will also host a launch party at the Gentle Jaunt shop on the Friday before the ride – come and make some final adjustments to your bike, have a beer and meet some other riders.
