Expedition
Coincidentally, the above plans were also the plans for yesterday's expedition. However, as the sheer spontaneity of the action overwhelmed us (most of the hashers I asked had plans for the evening), the Great Random Number Generator gracefully and gratuitously offered us a similar destination - just one train station further, with a little less of a bike ride, in a much more beautiful lake, on the other side of the graticule border. How could we possibly resist?
This would also be the first longer ride with Taylor the Trailer, who dutifully followed Trusty Mount along. We had packed just the bare necessities in a sturdy, waterproof bag (thank you, IKEA[tm]) for Taylor to carry. With our notorious punctuality, we raced to the main station. Relet raced a little earlier, in the hopes to buy tickets before boarding the train, and lyx raced a little faster, having to care for the cats first.
Everything went well. We reached the train in time, and Taylor mastered all the involved exercises with bravura: i.e. riding an elevator next to Trusty, boarding a train, and then quickly disassembling so as to pass as an ordinary piece of luggage (bicycle trailers would cost extra).
We never confirmed that Taylor would indeed pass as a luggage, as we met no ticket inspectors on either part of the trip. But we were able to save on some of the other bicycle tickets that way, which we hadn't managed to buy before the arrival of the train.
We consumed some of our rations, which consisted of a couple of ((falafel or makali) and hommous) sandwiches shopped at the Libanese snack next to relet's office.

Taylor the trailer meets Bob. Bob is a Yak.
Shamelessly promoting open access. Science. That's the only way it works, bitches!
Beautiful church in Fürstenberg / Havel
lyx cycling
Arrival at the lake
And a nice place near the hash
actually an unstitched panorama shot

Let the inflation begin!
..as soon as I figure out how to..
Success!
Behold upon the swelling seas / With streaming pennants gay, / Our gallant ship invites the waves, / While glory leads the way.
While
glorycoordinates lead the way
Ready to go over board
Real soon now
Is cold!
Oh, whatever
ready to dive
Rescue mission
At home
View outside the window
Next morning
In the stables
Another old milestone
A last look over the lake
For sale
