December 2024 Rides

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

Monthly Tours

Gö Gravel Jahresabschluss Ausfahrt + Get together – December 29 2024

Gegen Windt in Gö – December 18 2024

It should have been an easy peasy lemon squeezy ride, but the wind was a beast, and my deep section front rim acted a like a sail  – all hard work.

Kerstlingeröder Feld in the Mist – December 12 2024

A very short ride in the cold and mist at Kerstlingeröder Feld, a redundant panzer base and now a wald, lots of climbing, muddy trails and shivering toes.

Gö Gravel Surfin Ausfahrt – December 9 2024

Hooray to Tim and Johannes for decorating their bikes with Christmas tree lights!

The ride featured Konstantin, Josh, Tim M, Max, Chris, Johannes (Slow Joe), Felix T, and John.

Advent Ride in Gö – December 1 2024

The first of advent was cold and the fields are now bare of crops and the trees of leaves, winter is starting to take hold.

The sun shone but a nasty wind made it hard at times.
