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

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

Omloop Home DE Es war gut, den 40 km langen Gö Feldweg Omloop im Abstand von nur wenigen Tagen zu fahren.

Diesmal habe ich Joni Mitchell nicht… Continue Reading
