Omloop Home DE Es war gut, den 40 km langen Gö Feldweg Omloop im Abstand von nur wenigen Tagen zu fahren. Bei der vorherigen Fahrt wurde ich von einer Frau auf einem gelben MTB aus den 1990er Jahren überholt. Das Lied Big Yellow Taxi spielte daraufhin in meinem Kopf. Diesmal habe ich Joni Mitchell nicht… Continue Reading

Omloop Home ENG Stage four of the 2022 Women´s Tour de France from Troyes to Bar Sur Aub featured four sectors of ´Chemin Blanc´ and this inspired me to ride a revised short Gö Feldweg Omloop.

Bad Harzburg is not a ye oldie German town and has very few signs of life before the 18th Century when it developed into a Spa Resort (it was called Neustadt until 1892). The town situated to the north of the Harz Mountains and is overlooked by them, drew people from across the German speaking… Continue Reading

The small Gö Feldweg Omloop ridden on a majority of Betonweg, or mixed surface farm/forest roads and cycle paths closed to general motor traffic. A homage to the Spring road race classics.

(English below) Gö-Strade Bianche ist eine Radtour (kein Rennen), in der die „weißen Straßen“ von Göttingen eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Die Idee kam uns, weil uns, als Neu-Göttinger und hoffnungslose Radsport-Romantiker, die hiesigen Feldwege in ihrer sommerlichen Weiße an die legendären Strade Bianche der Toscana erinnerten. Also dachten wir uns, dass es ja nicht schaden… Continue Reading
