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. The trails will now become increasingly sodden until they freeze and then return to being a quagmire in places during the subsequent thaw. The… Continue Reading

Der Kalender hat natürlich ein Fahrradthema, da wir die weißen Straßen von Gö feiern (weniger weiß im Winter) und Craig von Window Gazing, ein Mitglied der Gö Strade Bianche-Gruppe, hat einen coolen Job gemacht, künstlerisch auszudrücken, warum wir es lieben, in der… Continue Reading

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. Autumn (or Fall) means that sections of this tour featured a carpet of fallen leaves which crackle under wheel in the dry or rustle when on foot and are slippery… Continue Reading

Feldweg Home Not drinking it but thinking about wine on this ride. The Feldweg Omloop is a homage to road race classics which are not confined to asphalt. 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
