Journey to the Bottom of the Sea in Gö – November 4 2025

A road ride up to Berlepsch Castle, which was attacked and destroyed in both the 30 Years and 7 Years Wars. 

We climbed steadily to the castle and then returned to Gö downhill upon exhilarating roads overlooking the city.

On route we went through Diederode which was one of datum points for Gauss when he measured the size of the Kingdom of Hannover, it is also where the B17 bomber Lassie Come Home crashed during World War Two, the village additionally features a medieval watchtower come church and finally it was the headquarters of the French Arms during the 7 Years War. 

The latter was the first world war when the British began to assault the French colonies across the Globe, and they paid Frederick the Great to fight the French in Central Europe. 

The French built an earth bank from the Werra to the Liene River, and there remains a fragment at Dahlenrode.

The wind today was harsh at times, but it was much warmer than recent rides. This was also a ride I had intended to do prior to my heart attack and so it was great to ride it this day.
