In addition, I did not feel lost, the latter in the context of feeling discombobulated, also, I had no reason to express Sheesh (disbelief). Having grown up in England all these words are… Continue Reading

The border ran for 1,381 kilometres from the Baltic Sea to what was then Czechoslovakia, the East German Government called it their anti-fascist barrier but in reality, it reflected the economic and political challenge… Continue Reading

My new bike is a ride into the 21st century and I met with Josh Schenk and Gunnar Fehlau at the Göttingen Velodrome for a party pace spin.

I think the concept of Cancel Culture as a thing (or Political Correctness and WOKE) is daft, because to frame any thoughful test of accepted narratives in negative terms is at variance with moving forward. To my mind it helps to test orthodoxy – it can allow us to learn from the past, to live… Continue Reading

It has crossed my mind several times to conduct guerrilla gardening and line the white gravel roads of Göttingen with Tuscan tree seeds. I believe it would make the area just a bit cooler! Now, a second thought has hit me, what about guerrilla cobble stone laying? There are cobbles in Göttingen but nothing of… Continue Reading

The area where I live in Central Europe is not mountainous, but it is hilly, to go beyond this I would need to visit the Harz where the Brocken stands at 1,141 metres or the Wurmberg at 971 (the latter an offroad cycling mecca). Göttingen sits in the Leine Valley and is flanked to the west… Continue Reading

After a hard ride of 84kms on gravel the previous weekend I wanted a simple relaxed road tour. The sky above me was rumbling with thunder and rain clouds hung overhead, but with no fixed route in my mind I was able to avoid the worst of the rain. When it encroached toward me, I… Continue Reading
