Feldweg Omloop Home

Predominantly a road ride this tour features four of my favorite asphalt descents in the Göttingen area and because I’m addicted to Ribinou, Chemin de Vignes or gravel there are five sectors of gravel plus one cobbled stretch to help link the ride together.

I have included as much asphalt Feldweg and Betonweg as possible. Three of the four fabulous descents are on smooth as silk road open to motor vehicles and of course it is best to be safe rather than sorry because of the unpredictability of other road users, especially cars.

Of course to enjoy the ride down you must first go UP!

I rode my very much underused, but serviced road bike opting for a tire choice that gave me a sense of flow on the asphalt and stability on the gravel or Feldweg/Betonweg (Panaracer Gravel King 28/26). I slowed down on the gnarly stuff protecting tyres and myself.
