Bike Ride!

A week after I got my new bike, we decided to ride out to Grunewald. We planned on following this bike path:

However, the entire road through Tiergarten (that big green area in the middle of the map) was closed off and they were not allowing any traffic on it. We knew that the Berlin Marathon was the following day, but we couldn't figure out why no one was allowed to use the road a full day ahead of the marathon. Anyway, we ended up biking around the Tiergarten once we were able to get through the masses of people there and eventually made it out the Grunewald. So beautiful and so peaceful. At one point on the paths we just got off our bikes to stroll and enjoy being in nature.



We also found the Steffi Graf tennis stadium (not the full name).

Once we got home, Keith discovered the reason for the roads being closed: the rollerblading marathon.
