The ground had been swollen in the days before my ride by rain plus snow and the weather was bleak in attitude offering a taste of the winter yet to come.

Feldweg Home My longest ride since my fall in May! Herbst is firmly with us in Lower Saxony despite some record-breaking high temperatures in October.

Paris Tours (Oct 9) features 9 gravel sectors through the vineyards of France. This is the short Gö Feldweg Omloop. The previous route featured a section of… Continue Reading

Feldweg Home Feedback is great and thanks to Sandra M for hers. Thus, we have revised once more the 54km Gö Feldweg Omloop (soon the 41 will follow) by taking out the cobbles adjacent to the railway at Obernjesa. Although the cobbles at the Obernjesa railway are fun especially where the rusting rails remain from… Continue Reading

During a flying visit to Germany by Tom and Irene from the Netherlands, we ate lots of cake, toured Göttingen and then went walking in the Harz Mountains (close to Gö). I have visited the Harz many times but after a year’s gap it was shocking to see large swathes of dead trees. It is… Continue Reading

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
