Home dirt road Omloop When I ride my bike alone, I never listen to music, the engagement with the terrain is enough for me and when my mind wanders, I do often follow a train of thought in my head, as was the case on when I rode a revised 40km Gö dirt road Omloop… Continue Reading

Bad Harzburg reinvented itself from being a mining town into a wellness/spa resort during the 19th century. It became and remained a ´Riveira´ like town of the Harz Mountains, with cake shops, cafes, gardens, and all sorts of things to do when patrons of the clinics sneak out and escape their health regime. Most people… 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.

Feldweg Home There aren´t many cobbled roads in the Gö area which can be put together to create a Paris Roubaix like tour. Instead, and to mimic Northern France (and the Flanders region) we ride nine sections of mild pave, and 33 gravel sectors the latter standing in for the kopfsteinpflaster. We combine elements of… Continue Reading
