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

My first summer in Göttingen in 2019 was hot (30+) and the thousands of gravel roads in the area were a brilliant white in places. 

This prompted me to begin to set out routes and this was my first – the Gö Strade Bianche 56km with details in both DE and ENG.

Today’s ride was hastily arranged via the Gö Gravel WhatsApp group, and we set out knowing rain was expected.

With the rain falling memories of past wet Strade Bianche´s and when the Giro featured the Tuscany white gravel roads in 2010 come to mind. 

The gravel on route was slippery and we splish-splashed through deep puddles on a variation of the route avoiding a couple of hills because of the conditions.

Thanks to Sandra, Josh, Alex, Craig, and Def for sharing the adventure and being heroic.

Rain
There are different ways of expressing rain, but it can be simply described as wet or WET!

I was a commissaire at a road race many years ago and at the finish many riders complained of feeling sick. We eventually considered that this might have been caused by the peloton riding tightly close together in a vortex of spray as if an electrical appliance had been thrown into a bubbling Jacuzzi. A best guess is that riders had their spatial awareness screwed with by only being able to see the wheel ahead causing a feeling akin to travel sickness.
