The eleventh of November is Armistice Day marking the end of the First World War. In Germany, the National Day of Mourning (Volkstrauertag) is held in remembrance for those who have died or have suffered because of war (November 13 in 2022). 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

Gö Strade Bianche Rides Schließ´ die Augen und stell Dir vor, Du seist in der Toskana, und mach´ sie erst am Ende der Radtour wieder auf. The Gö Strade Bianche is an informal group, there is no central committee and, rather it’s a simple collective of friendly-minded cyclists. We do not hold formal led tours/events,… 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

Feldweg Home The Gö Feldweg Omloop without the gravel and cobbled sectors – riding the asphalt farmers roads, cycle paths and public roads. We start and finish at Geismar and visit Sieboldhausen six times! You might get a bit dizzy as you switch back and forth. Riding a local circuit, runde or in this case… Continue Reading
During a flying visit to Germany by Tom and Irene from the Netherlands, we ate lots of cake, toured Göttingen and then went walking in the Harz Mountains (close to Gö). I have visited the Harz many times but after a year’s gap it was shocking to see large swathes of dead trees. It is… Continue Reading
Feldweg Home The Feldweg Omloop (circuit oder runde) 50km ridden on a road bike on a revised route (September 7 2022). Volkerode/Obernjesa/Stockhausen/Wendebachstasse/Reinhausen/Appenrode/Diemarden. The village at Reinhausen features an amazing rock face lining the road. More gravel and cobbles at the start plus we have cut out the public roads at Bremke. 53KM – 12.6 km… Continue Reading
With just a few days before the end of the nine Euro ticket valid on all regional transport we decided to cross state lines and revisit Kassel some 50 kilometres from Göttingen. Tickets deals for internal travel within my home state of Lower Saxony will remain. Kassel sits upon the Fulda River in Hesse (some… Continue Reading
Feldweg Home Friedland/Bisenhausen loop – 60km (revised 28 August 2022) A revised route for the 60km Go Feldweg Omloop riding via Volkerode, Obernjesa, Friedland, Besenhausen, Reinhausen, Ballenhausen, and Diemarden. This version of the Omloop (Flemish word for a circuit or runde) has a new route out from the velodrome featuring a section of gravel and… Continue Reading
The plan was to make use of our nine Euro rail ticket and visit Hannover, but the train was delayed because of a defect, and we opted to go instead to Kassel as that train was scheduled to leave much sooner. Hann Münden On board the train we decided spontaneously to jump off to visit… Continue Reading

The short 40km Gö Strade Bianche has been extensively revised and at Ballenhausen we miss out a series of stinging climbs featured on the other routes. We… Continue Reading
