  • Gö – Jühnde – Gö – October 11 Road Ride

    This was mostly a new route to Jühnde for me, although I had previously ridden the first section in reverse from Dransfeld to Göttingen when we rode from the Weser River. The climb up to the ridge top saw us pedal on many asphalt roads closed to general vehicle use, under the high speed train… Continue Reading

  • Road Race Gravel & Pave Preview 2020

    Results, video and picture links from cycle road races to be held in 2020 which feature gravel, pave and dirt. Road races that have in common a touch of the ‘Roubaixesque’ about them. I am now based in Germany and so sadly I cannot say that all the video links can be viewed in other… Continue Reading

  • Gö PRBX – October 8 2020 Gravel/Stein/Road Tour

    I rode the Gö PRBX route in the rain as part of my recovery from having two of my Wisdom Teeth extracted. A cycle ride based upon the Hainberg overlooking the German city of Göttingen featuring gravel, forest trails, Panzerweg, Kopfsteinpflaster (Cobbles), some use of public roads and importantly gnarly Befestigter Waldweg (Reinforced wild road).… Continue Reading

  • Gö Strade Recovery Tour – October 5 2020 Gravel/Road Ride

    My second recovery ride since an infection hit me because I had too many teeth, two wisdom teeth now extracted (stitches out on Tuesday). I say goodbye to the last of these troublesome teeth (they lack any wisdom) in 13 days’ time. On a road ride last Saturday, I felt discombobulated and today I felt… Continue Reading

  • Gö – Spinnerei – Gö or last of the summer kuchen – October 3 2020 Road Ride

    A simple asphalt recovery ride after the extraction of 2 of my Wisdom teeth. The intention to eat cake (soft in my case) at the Historische Spinnerei Gartetal for what is the last day of being open for the year. It was a warm Autumn day. We rode 38km but it felt like a 100,00000000!!!… Continue Reading

  • Wear it don´t Smoke it – September 27 Road Ride

    We no longer grind plants or other ´hard´ foods with our teeth because of our modern diets and for some rammed at the back of your mouth can be four redundant Wisdom teeth (Weisheitszähne). My Wisdom Teeth have become a problem and after two weeks off the bike because of an infection from one of… Continue Reading

  • Gö – Kuchen – Gö – September 16 2020 Road ride

    They say there is a heat wave on the way for mid-September but whatever the outcome I have been preparing for Autumn and Winter. Onto my bikes have gone sacrificial wheels and tough tyres, and I had thought that a recent band of welcome rain would have made the roads ´dirty´. I was wrong, although… Continue Reading

  • Late Summer Days in Gö – September 13 2020 Road Ride

    Back on are my summer wheels and tyres (I took them off because I thought summer was over). I also wore my best white summer shoes and socks. Come the Winter I will recall these days with a sigh and I will think about the Spring. 60km.

  • Meeting on the Frontline – September 10 2020 Gravel/Road Ride

    The last time I had met anyone on a ´front line´ was in Brixton, London and today I met five riders at what was the Iron Curtain front line at Besenhausen just outside of Göttingen in Central Germany. Where once barbed wire and a death strip split the countryside along ideological lines, now Sunflowers and… Continue Reading

  • Gö – Besenhausen – Gö – September 9 2020 Gravel Ride

    Soon into the ride Andrea snapped her chain, happily this was quickly fixed, and we continued to ride in a relaxed manner out to Besenhausen to eat Goosegog Kuchen close to the now defunct internal border. We rode out along the Gutingi Strade Bianche route before we swung home in warm weather. 56km. The Ride… Continue Reading

  • All Along the Watchtower – September 2 2020 Gravel Ride

    A ride from medieval watchtower to watchtower. These old military sites once protected and controlled the approaches to Göttingen. They are now romantic ruins and peaceful, but in the past, they were often the difference between life or death. Personally, I am grateful to live in a period of peace of which Europe has never… Continue Reading

  • Talking Speed – August 30 2020 Gravel Ride

    For sure we could have gone faster, especially Josh, but that wasn´t the point. We set a pace at which we could talk, be chilled and all rode our bikes as a form of recovery. We began at the velodrome rode across the gravel farm trails into the forest and raced down the available descents.… Continue Reading

  • Gö – Jühnde – Gö – August 27 2020 Road Ride

    A few vibrant Sunflowers in amongst a host of those past their best is a clear sign that the summer is ending. Although I do not feel the risk that I felt on the open roads of the UK, but today bad German driving was on display especially on the L559 into Jühnde where a… Continue Reading

  • Witzenhausen to Göttingen – August 22 2020 Road Ride

    A short train ride took us to Witzenhausen the smallest university town in Germany (it has been a seat of learning about agriculture since the 19th century) and is a major place for cherries. A notable resident was Johann Jacob Schweppe, (1740-1821), known for the famous Schweppes brand. It is also the birthplace of the… Continue Reading

  • Goosegog! – August 20 2020 Gravel/Road Ride

    Its amazing when I think about it, is that I could take this ride so very much for granted. Before I moved here to Central Europe, I dreamed of riding such gravel roads, but now I can use them to simply go and eat great Goosegog cake. So no, I do not take it for… Continue Reading

  • Stein – August 19 2020 Road/Gravel Ride

    Riding a circuit is cool, you can stay close to home, you can step off when your body says so and you can go home should a monsoon attack. What it doesn´t have to be is boring! This tough 15km circuit ridden on a 28m front and 26m rear tyre featured asphalt, stein roads, Kopfsteinpflaster… Continue Reading

  • No Yorkshire Tea – August 16 2020 Gravel Ride

    We talked about Yorkshire tea (*mysteriously it came up) and swapped stories about tea and tea drinking habits in ´Gods chosen county´, but didn´t drink any. Instead we concentrated upon drinking German beer, ate German cakes, and rode cool German gravel. A day of good Anglo-Deutsche relations or should I say Bristol-Göttingen relations – Thanks… Continue Reading
