Cycling and Life
Gö Gravel have a new Brevet Karte issued free at rides. Like a passport you can collect stamps for specific tours, or in which season you rode. Sandra M is the first to get a stamp for her recent Omloop ride. It’s offered in the same spirit as the Gö Strade Bianche Brevet Kart –… Continue Reading
Winter wetter (and cake) is an existential matter for any cyclist. What is the meaning of it all? I was not to be a hostage to my angst and motivated by the company of Sandra and Andrea we rode a variation of the Gö Feldweg Omloop 40km. Angst The weather is a major matter for… Continue Reading

We visit the Kopfsteinpflaster Karussell and the Bürgertal Canyon plus the Rosengarten at Reinhausen. This route features several stiff climbs including one gravel ascent I walked up (25% plus) – the ride rocks… Continue Reading

The ground had been swollen in the days before my ride by rain plus snow and the weather was bleak in attitude offering a taste of the winter yet to come. The trails will now become increasingly sodden until they freeze and then return to being a quagmire in places during the subsequent thaw. The… Continue Reading

Hurra, der erste Gö Strade Bianche Kalender ist für 12.50 Euro zu haben! Der Kalender hat natürlich ein Fahrradthema, da wir die weißen Straßen von Gö feiern (weniger weiß im Winter) und Craig von Window Gazing, ein Mitglied der Gö Strade Bianche-Gruppe, hat einen coolen Job gemacht, künstlerisch auszudrücken, warum wir es lieben, in der… Continue Reading

In the United Kingdom Remembrance Sunday plays the same role. In Belgium November… Continue Reading
Feldweg Home My longest ride since my fall in May! Herbst is firmly with us in Lower Saxony despite some record-breaking high temperatures in October. Autumn (or Fall) means that sections of this tour featured a carpet of fallen leaves which crackle under wheel in the dry or rustle when on foot and are slippery… Continue Reading

Feldweg Home Not drinking it but thinking about wine on this ride. The Feldweg Omloop is a homage to road race classics which are not confined to asphalt. Paris Tours (Oct 9) features 9 gravel sectors through the vineyards of France. This is the short Gö Feldweg Omloop. The previous route featured a section of… Continue Reading
Feldweg Home Feedback is great and thanks to Sandra M for hers. Thus, we have revised once more the 54km Gö Feldweg Omloop (soon the 41 will follow) by taking out the cobbles adjacent to the railway at Obernjesa. Although the cobbles at the Obernjesa railway are fun especially where the rusting rails remain from… Continue Reading

DE Home – ENG Home A shorter version of the Gö Strade Bianche held to the southwest of Göttingen heading through Rosdorf to the high ground above Volkerode. Whereafter, we descend back into the Leine Valley via Sieboldhausen. Keeping it all Westside. Gravel sector 15 (of 19) was especially poignant for me because this is where… Continue Reading
