  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Chasing Bianchis – July 25 2020 Road Ride

    A ride with hills to give Tom and Naomi a few ups and downs in contrast to their normal Netherlands terrain over a *Freddie Frinton route which has become one of my favourites. I first met Tom in London over thirty years ago when he was cycle touring and today, we rode with him and… Continue Reading

  • Freddie Frinton Rides

    Freddie Frinton Rides are rides which are to paraphrase Freddie,“The same procedure as last time”  from Dinner For One, a cult German film shown each New Year. These are gravel, road or gravel/road rides that are undertaken regularly and this includes Freddie Frinton Ride One featured here. Eine kurze Fahrt mit Gunnar auf lokalen Trails… Continue Reading

  • A Hedge! – July 18 2020 Road Ride

    This route has become a ´Freddie Frinton*´ one for me, it would seem to be my go-to when I just want to do a road ride on a known course. From the saddle I noted that Sunflowers are out and on route I saw a rare thing – a hedge lined road. (*Freddie Frinton being… Continue Reading

  • Close Shave Therapie – July 10 2020 Road Ride

    I rode this day over known benign roads to get ´back on the horse´, to eat cake and to make things good in my head, body, and soul. Several days earlier at over 30kph on a farm track my front wheel had hit a rut hidden by long grass which had been carved by a… Continue Reading

  • Precipitation Chase – July 2 2020 Road Ride

    We crossed the valley and were able to make out our house on the other side. This is a small pleasure upon which a life is built. We spotted a small group of sunflowers in a field, the first of the season although I did not picture them. The ride included Jühnde Castle and then… Continue Reading

  • Zwei Burgen Tour – June 20 2020 Road Ride

    On the longest day of the year I set out across the Leine Valley to Jühnde Castle and then back across the valley to venture into Thuringia at the State Line with Niedersachsen where once stood the Iron Curtain. Returning to my home state I climbed up to the Gleichen Castle, not to the top… Continue Reading

  • Ducks and Snails – June 4 2020 Road Ride

    We were expecting heavy rain with thunder and lightning, so with a mind to a future drought I connected two water butts to the house drainpipes. With two nicely filled butts and no rain forecast for the evening I ventured out, but it did rain and I spent 44 plus kilometres getting gloriously wet. I… Continue Reading

  • On the Road Again – May 30 2020 Road Ride

    I haven´t been on a road ride for some time. Canned Heat are not one of my favourite 60/70s bands (I am more of a Buffalo Springfield person) and I have no idea why their song ´On the Road Again ‘ switched on in my head. I was humming it throughout and I could also… Continue Reading

  • Another Country – March 28 2020 Road Ride

    Quiet roads, very few cars – no motor car hassles (one annoying BMW driver) and lots of people including children enjoying the fine weather. I must be in another country, wait, I am! My UK feed is full of stuff about cyclists being slagged off for riding and there seems to be so much scolding… Continue Reading

  • On the Black Stuff – March 8 2020 Road Ride

    A day away from the mud and rain, this ride was 50km of riding the ´black stuff´ at a laidback pace. There were quiet rolling roads and interesting villages with a hint of sunshine making it all rather special in an ordinary sort of way. We went past the Friedland Denkmal riding into a strong… Continue Reading
