In October the ASO who organise the TdF also host Paris Tours a classic race on the men´s road race calendar and it… Continue Reading

Gö Gravel Rides Schließ´ die Augen und stell Dir vor, Du seist in der Toskana, und mach´ sie erst am Ende der Radtour wieder auf. Gö Gravel (Previously Gö Strade Bianche) is an informal group, there is no central committee and, rather it’s a simple collective of friendly-minded cyclists. We hold no data base of… Continue Reading

The Shock of the New Ride Featuring – The Colossi Logistics Centres, Gö Prison, Grundbachtalbrücke High Speed Rail, Power Lines, Windpower and the Autobahn.

This Gö Gravel informal gravel ride takes us out of Gö to the highest height and we think about Carl Frederick Gauß, who might be the patron saint of GPS and Strava. We also go down the asphalt descent of the Hoher Hagen which is a major test on the annual Tour d´Energy because that… Continue Reading

Omloop Home – Ride Gallery In my defence and please note that the criminally insane cannot be held responsible for their actions – I am guilty as charged if you think this ride is absurd. It pitches the rider against the unknown knowns of the urban jungle including 29 sectors of city cobbles and a… Continue Reading

Dirt road home We celebrated the recent holding of the Paris Roubaix cycle races with an informal Gö Gravel social ride . This is not a hell of the north like the Paris Roubaix bike race, instead it offers a flavor of the event. Gravel not Cobbles The landscape of the Leine Valley and Northern… Continue Reading

Gö Feldweg Omloop Home In 2021 I suggested a campaign to guerilla garden the area with Cupressus Sempervirens tree seeds to propagate a Tuscan landscape to compliment the Göttingen white roads and I also suggested surreptitiously replacing asphalt with cobbles. In Gö most cobbles or Steinweg have been swept away in the march of progress.… Continue Reading

The enormous success of the film Oppenheimer at the Hollywood Oscars fits nicely with our Gö Gravel visit to the Forum Wissen in Gottingen. It was in Göttingen, Germany that the ´Father of the A-Bomb´ earned his doctorate in physics from the city´s university in 1927 under Max Born who had established a world leading… Continue Reading

On this celebration of Autumn the Gö Gravel informal social tour travels to the East of Göttingen. Autumn is a glorious time when the trees shed their rusty leaves creating a colorful carpet, often hiding ruts, potholes, and roots. A big change of plan after the previous scouting ride for the Gö Gravel informal ride… Continue Reading

The Gö Gravel weekend informal social ride excellently designed by Chris took us to the middle of Germany. Close to Göttingen is where three German states meet – Lower Saxony, Thuringia, and Hesse, and here there are a cluster of places which lay claim to being the centre of the country. Backed by a substantial… Continue Reading

Feldweg Omloop Home Predominantly a road ride this tour features four of my favorite asphalt descents in the Göttingen area and because I’m addicted to Ribinou, Chemin de Vignes or gravel there are five sectors of gravel plus one cobbled stretch to help link the ride together. I have included as much asphalt Feldweg and… Continue Reading

Presenting no obstacle to our free movement this Gö Gravel cycle tour saw us cross several active and defunct borders. The ride compliments the All Along the Watchtower both being linked to the control of the land. Once how far you travelled from home was dictated by the distance you could walk in a day,… Continue Reading

Hurra, der erste Gö Strade Bianche Kalender ist für 12.50 Euro zu haben!

(English below) Gö-Strade Bianche ist eine Radtour (kein Rennen), in der die „weißen Straßen“ von Göttingen eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Die Idee kam uns, weil uns, als Neu-Göttinger und hoffnungslose Radsport-Romantiker, die hiesigen Feldwege in ihrer sommerlichen Weiße an die legendären Strade Bianche der Toscana erinnerten. Also dachten wir uns, dass es ja nicht schaden… Continue Reading
