Leaving threecity by road bike

Leaving 3 city in a traffic is not easy, especially in weekdays. The map below shows the best ways to go to the country side. If you hate riding with a lot of cars do not use Sopot-Gdynia variant (green line). Red/violet tracks run through the forest and have a very little traffic (recommended). Gdynia-Wiczlino-Koleczkowo track runs through a town but as one can use cycling paths it is pretty safe.

If one reaches blue markers one can claim she/he is out of town feel safer and more comfortable.

Of some interest to football fans can be Oliwa-Matarnia track which pass by German football team Euro 2012 camp (hotel Dwór Oliwski) and German squad's training ground. Both are marked with a wigwam icon.

At present road is narrow and bumpy (see video below). Perhaps it will be repaired during last-minute preparations for the Championships but on the other side some access restrictions can be expected then (ie. in June).

Roundabout in Osowa near Castorama store (first roundabout after passing over Trojmiasto ring road (Obwodnica), heading toward Osowa along Spacerowa street). Instead of riding along Spacerowa street where the traffic is often heavy it is recommended to go to Sopot and to use Reja street (red line on the map).

The meetings took place (almost) every Saturday and Sunday at 11.00 AM. Usually 5--15 riders are present, sometimes more.
