October 2025 Rides

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

Monthly Tours

Gö Gravel into the Dark 3 (No One Drowned) – October 20 2025

Into the darkness and into the rain, we splattered each other with mud as if in a mobile jacuzzi but no one drowned.

A few lines from Emily Dickinson´s poem, ‘We grow accustomed to the Dark’, 1862.

“We grow accustomed to the Dark
When light is put away
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye

A Moment – We uncertain step
For newness of the night
Then fit our Vision to the Dark
And meet the Road erect”


The 45th Gö Gravel informal Monday evening social tour featured Andre, Andrea, Josh, Max H, Tim E, Johanna ML, Johannes S, Gunnar, and John.

Fortune Favours the Brave in Gö – October 19 2025

A cold wind almost stopped me venturing out but if you want to stay sane in the autumn and especially the coming winter it’s best to get out there and embrace the best and the worst.

I was rewarded when the strong wind dropped and the sun popped out.

Petite Thin Red Line in Gö – October 9 2025

I freelanced the Gö Gravel Thin Red Line and enjoyed a wee bit of drizzle and sunshine!

Many Göttingen bridges are closed, a plague of woodworm?

Gö Gravel into the Dark – October 6 2025

Into the bible black, without a sunset as we rode through the spitting-rain-infinite-murky-gloom and each week the darkness is heralded sooner than before – oh summer wherefore art thou, alas gone and now we are tested for our steel.

The 43rd Gö Gravel informal Monday evening social tour featured Andrea, Christian H, Josh, Tim E, Konstantin, Johanna ML, Johannes S, Ingo, Simon H, Andre, Def, Ann-Christin, and John.

Konstantin’s Orgiastic Birthday Cake Ride in Gö – October 5 2025

It rained but I didn´t care because at ride end Konstantin gave us plates and plates of cakes in what was an orgy of patisserie goodness.

Danke!
