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.

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.

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).

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
