Roll out of Ribnitz-Damgarten and back again on a 77.4 km loop that stays entirely on paved surface. First up is the Bernsteinsee, then the Darßer Schwelle nature reserve, before the Ahrenshooper Holz nature reserve rolls by. The Recknitz river sees you on your way, and 181 m of climbing keeps things honest. Back where you started, wheels still turning.
