February 2025 Rides

A page featuring galleries and links for cycle tours undertaken during February 2025.

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

I do post to FacebookGarmin ConnectStrava and occasionally to Komoot and Instagram.

Skinny Slicks in Gö – February 27 2025

The classic and semi-classic season begins on March 1 with Omloop het Nieuwsblad formerly Het Volk and I celebrated by riding my feldweg bike kitted out with slicks.

I avoided the mud, including three cobbled and two benign gravel sectors, otherwise it was asphalt most of the ride.

Gö Gravel Ausfahrt– February 24 2025

The 17th Monday informal social ride of Herbst and winter.

Not the warmth of the weekend, but the daylight hours are getting longer, and it only rained a little bit, nothing to dampen our spirits.

We had a taste of the mud season or also referred in hushed tones as; Rospuutto in Eastern Finland, in Russia as Rasputitsa. In Sweden they use Menföre or in other parts of Finland there is Kelirikko, in New England it is called the Filth Season, and in Ukraine Bezdorizhzhia.

Being positive Belgian mire is also a chocolate mud cake, and we ride for the Love of Mud… and cake.

The ride featured Josh, Sandra, Konstantin, Tim H, Johannes S, Laura T, Ann-Christen, and John.

Spring has Sprung in Gö – February 22 2024

I like to think that the rise in temperature from minus 11 to plus 16n in a few days has something to do with all of us poor souls who had fevers because of a myriad of nasty winter bugs making us ill and raising the ambient heat.

A few years ago, we jumped from minus 24 to plus 14 in a short time also in February.

It will probably snow tomorrow…

Sun and Cold in Gö – February 2 2025

Sunshine on a frosty landscape is a wonderous thing, and we rode as if we had not a care in the world.
