Gö North Feldweg Omloop – April 26 2023

A new Gö Feldweg Omloop travelling north of Göttingen following the Leine Valley reaching out beyond Bovenden and Nörten-Hardenberg. Whilst we go close to Northeim we turn back before it and our return shadows the journey out but is different.

Within a crowded valley floor are Intertwined a myriad of Feldweg (concrete, asphalt, and white gravel) that like spaghetti makes for a confused plate but not necessarily a bad tasting one.

For me the Gö North Feldweg Omloop evokes the Tro Bro Leon ´road´ race set in Brittany, plus strong memories of the Plain of Flanders and riding the Paris Roubaix cycle sportive. As well as at Ypres in Belgium.

Apart from the lack of hills if you watch the Spring Classic cycle road races, you might see the similarities I see in this landscape. In the same way the white roads of Gö remind me of the Strade Bianche held in Tuscany.

There are NO HILLS on this ride! But if the winds blow it can take your breath away and a mix of 26 gravel sectors plus asphalt/concrete Feldweg (often in a bad state), will hurt your legs (´Shut Up Legs´ etc.).

The Ride -47.35km in total (48km if you add a lap of the velodrome at ride end)
