Berlin to the Polish border. 93.9km

Getting out of Berlin was pretty easy : get to Hermannplatz, take Sonnenallee for like half an hour, and simply follow the roadsigns to Muggelsee (I suggest using the road north of the lake, which is a bit shorter). Nothing interesting to see there, but as you get away from Berlin, bike paths get wider, the road opens and you can either push and raise your average speed, or just enjoy the view on the lake once you get there. You should be able to reach Muggelsee in less than an hour. Take a break and eat a banana.

Road to Furstenwalde : it is probably the nicest road I've ever ridden in Germany so far. More than 10km in the middle of the woods on a fresh asphalt. Even the bits between the bike paths were nice. Just you, your bike, your music and a really smooth road. The kind of road that puts a smile on your face. Take a break and eat another banana.

Crosscountry to Jakobsdorf : this isn't even a real road, but just tracks left by tractors in the middle of corn fields (km70 to km75 on my strava). Unless you're riding a CX bike, I definitely suggest getting off your bike and walking for like half an hour (which is what I did). You can take another route north of Jakobsdorf (L38 to Petersdorf) but you should plan it kilometers ahead (which I didn't do). THANK YOU GOOGLE MAPS. Once you're out of the fields, take a break and eat your last banana.

To the border : there aren't any more "real" bike paths after Jakobsdorf but it doesn't matter. Riding on the side of the road was pretty safe here. Follow the roadsigns and use the banana force to go across the only uphill bit of the trip. Turn right and you're in Frankfurt (Oder). Cross the bridge and you're in Poland.
