About us

We are a quirky bunch of cycling enthusiasts from Berlin who got together last winter to organise our first cycling event. Some of us are members of Roter Stern Berlin, others avoid club structures like the plague.

What unites us is the joy of cycling, a love that knows no bounds. From endurance road rides and adventurous bikepacking to cyclocross, relaxed sightseeing and group rides, we embrace every facet of cycling, from pushing the limits to taking it easy.

This is us

Martin

I can already ride a bike. I'm just learning how to organise an event like this together. And I recognise parallels to long-distance cycling: anticipation, intensive planning, discussions, changes of plan, new perspectives, fatigue, fresh motivation after stage finishes. I won't be able to ride the GB600 myself, but it will be just as great to greet lots of new and familiar faces at the start and celebrate together at the finish!
