Well talk about a "jammy sandwich", no nothing to do with the tapas, but the weather. It turned out to be a cool but sunny day sandwiched between two slices of soggy wet and windy days. Ten Knights took advantage and turned out for the start of this « Continue »
What’s ‘Eating Gilbert Dyke?
Having been confined to “barracks” for a number of days, due to in part to icy conditions then by a battering from storm Bert, it was no surprise to see a good turn out for this Tuesdays ride to Gilberdyke. Our rendezvous point was Walkington pond where we huddled together in the bus shelter. The […]
ContinueSled MeerKats
In the absence of head meerkat Raymond, Pugwash “stuck his head above ground” and proposed a ride to Sledmere. I wouldn’t call the response overwhelming, in fact you could almost imagine the tumbleweed drifting in the ether. Eventually two brave “meerkats” popped up and decided to join in the “foray” prompting others one by one […]
ContinueA Day at the Velodrome
This Tuesday saw a number of Knights taking advantage of the opportunity to experience riding in a velodrome. For some it was their first experience, while others had been at least once before. We may not have performed like the professionals but with us all in club kit we certainly looked professional. The day was […]
ContinueMisty Morning Mountains
🎶Misty mornin’, don’t see no sun, I know you’re out there somewhere having fun🎶 Yes it’s that season again of “mists and mellow fruitfulness”. Just as we thought we’d have a nice dry day, we awoke to drab grey skies, wet roads and a blanket of mist. Still, the Knights were undeterred with a “baker’s […]

The nights are fair drawin’ in and time will soon be running out for anyone wanting to get their hands on a trophy. In the battle of the “winged serpents” Sir Michael is still standing supreme at the top of the pile of “broken dreams” despite the best efforts of Sir Chad in 2nd place […]
ContinueOctober Revolutions
Well that’s October rolling in already bringing along with it some distinctly autumnal weather, which of course has curtailed a number of the recent club rides. However all is not gloom and doom with the sun putting in a welcome appearance for this Fridays ride to Allerthorpe. Eleven Knights plus one guest rider gathered at […]
ContinueFriday The 13th
There was no sign of paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday 13th) this morning as 11 Knights turned up at Market Cross for a 50 mile ride with a cafe stop at Hutton Cranswick Farm Shop. In fact there was more superstition surrounding Michael’s proclamation that he was riding his new bike which our recently departed friend […]
ContinueHere Comes The Sun
… and what better place to go than the seaside. As the eighteen Knights gathered at Market Cross Raymond must have thought “Is it my birthday or are you all just pleased to see me back?” Splitting into smaller groups, we set off through town to the Weel Bridge with Colin leading the “breakaway” group. […]
ContinueGoodlads Hunmanby Ride
Eight Knights plus one guest Gary, met up at Market Cross at the earlier time of 9am. Following our usual route through town towards Weel Bridge we encountered little traffic and with the wind at our back progress was swift 🚨🚨🚔 too swift for some it seems. “Do you know what speed you were doing […]
