Omloop Home DE Es war gut, den 40 km langen Gö Feldweg Omloop im Abstand von nur wenigen Tagen zu fahren. Bei der vorherigen Fahrt wurde ich von einer Frau auf einem gelben MTB aus den 1990er Jahren überholt. Das Lied Big Yellow Taxi spielte daraufhin in meinem Kopf. Diesmal habe ich Joni Mitchell nicht… Continue Reading

Bad Harzburg is not a ye oldie German town and has very few signs of life before the 18th Century when it developed into a Spa Resort (it was called Neustadt until 1892).

(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
