***MAAP INFO: IMPORTANT DETAILS PLEASE READ ***
1. You are responsible for your own nutrition and hydration across the ride. We will ride at tempo pace (35-40kmph+) with an average pace for the whole ride of 33kmph+ so you will need 60-80g+ carbs per hour. Of course we will make a couple stops along the way to refuel.
2. Bring lights suitable for riding in the dark.
3. You are also responsible for your own mechanical support – bring tubes and/or CO2 cartridges.
4. We strongly encourage you to consider your fitness level. If you’re on the fence, we recommend you ask a more experienced friend if this ride is a good step-up ride for your continued development.
5. If you’re unsure about your fitness level, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend you hold on to this ride and be on the lookout for future MAAP-supported rides.
6. We will end at the Standert Hub and drink some beers & eat pizza!

To celebrate the Equinox we will ride 365km in a circle around Berlin. Classic Rund um Berlin style that you all know and love, just a bit bigger. 365 days of the year, 365km, 360 degrees around Berlin! We will take in all the most iconic ride locations from around the city and enjoy the wonderful scenery of Brandenburg.

The Standert ‘Train’ will set off from the showroom, and you are invited to jump on and off the train at any point. We will send a tracking link so you can follow one of the ride leaders and find the best point to jump on. You are welcome to join for a part of or the whole ride, depending on the time you have and your fitness.

This is not ‘not a drop ride’. The train will keep going at the set pace, to make sure we make it back in time. But it will be steady, there will be no attacking, etc. If it’s too fast or you cannot follow anymore, we cannot not slow down. But the advantage of riding around Berlin in a circle is that you can get home from any point. That said, of course, if a member of the group has a puncture, etc., we will stop and wait.

Looking forward to seeing you on the Equinox Standert Train!
