October 2024 Rides

A page featuring galleries and links for cycle tours undertaken during October 2024.

I ride regularly, and I do not necessarily post a web page for each tour I do.

I do post to Facebook, Garmin Connect, Strava and occasionally to Komoot and Instagram.

Gloves Off in Gö – October 17 2024

After several very cold days, I was ill prepared for what was a warm almost summer like day. I took off whatever clothing I could and was forced to slow down because I was overheating.

Not that I am complaining because it was a cool ride mixing asphalt and gravel.

It is sugar beet harvest time and so mud thrown onto the asphalt feldweg had been like ice in nature was now being baked dry in the sun (See below).

Gö Gravel Herbst Ausfahrt 2 – October 14 2024

The second of a series of Monday informal social rides through October.

It was an awesome mudfest because the Sugar beet harvest is being gathered in and mud is being spread everywhere by farm machinery. A stick was a useful item to have to clear out gunk between tyre and frame.

We rode at a social pace onto to the high ground to the West of Göttingen.

The ride featured Josh, Tim Me, Sandra, John, Andrea, Chris, Jennifer, Johannes L, and Felix T.

Inspired by stage nine of the 2024 Tour De France (men) I have been riding a series of tours that feature mostly asphalt roads interspersed with gravel, Feldweg and Betonweg. Full route information here.

Gö Gravel Herbst Ausfahrt – October 7 2024

The first of a series of Monday informal social rides through October.

It Happened in Gö – October 3 2024

No heart rate monitor, no Garmin and not posted on Strava, therefore this short ride didn´t happen (kind of liberating).

A quick spin for the last of the season at the Historische Spinnerei in the Garte Valley. The cafe opens from May until October.

Arghhh in Gö – October 1 2024

I had a great plan, a genuinely great plan… and although I was prepared to ride through the rain, but when my rear tubeless went flat and it wouldn´t reinflate I knew it wasn´t my day.

I made the most of the ride and had an enjoyable time scouting the Gö PRbx and I ended with a small spin in the forest to make things even better.

If anyone would like to give me a hug…… or you need a hug….
