“The end of the year is nigh! Anyone up for a final ride of 2021 please sign on the dotted line” cried captain Greybeard. “Only one problem, you can fight among yourselves for the honour of Team Leader/Route Master”. First hat in the ring came from Captain Smithy, “I’m in” he claimed. A more definitive […]

We’re now into the final days of the year. October opened with a “rallying cry” from Chairman Neil urging everyone wishing to contest for any of the “crowns” to get out there before it’s too late. He also added a reminder that the “attempts” for KOM and Sprint had to be carried out as part […]

🎶 Always look on the bright side of life 🎶🎶🎶 At least that’s what it seemed like when Ray suggested this Friday’s ride. “Not looking too promising weather wise, strong winds and rain” he began his encouraging rallying cry. Were we daunted? Not in the least…. well, apart from hedging bets with a weather permitting, […]
ContinueOff Piste to Burton Constable
“Anyone fancy a ride to Millington on Tuesday?” came the first shout out. Within minutes the ‘Head of the Flat Earth Society’ responded with “Millington closed Tuesdays, suggest a ride to Burton Constable”. Ten Knights took part in the ride, with six departing from Market Cross to meet the others at Tickton Grange. The meeting […]
ContinueA Grand Day Out
“Anyone up for a ‘flattie’?” asked Raymond. I’m sure he wasn’t thinking of fish when suggesting we ‘flounder’ round by Brandesburton to Ulrome and back by Hutton Cranswick. Four Knights gathered at Market Cross in lovely autumn sunshine. Following our normal route, we left Beverley via Weel road to meet up at Tickton with Raymond […]

Sunday 19th September 2021 It may have been Sunday but there was no sign of the big orange ball in the sky. Indeed the weather forecast was full of gloom and doom with yellow warnings of heavy rain showers. With that in mind we had decided to abandon our originally planned route out to Saltburn […]

Saturday 18th September 2021 We woke to glorious sunshine ☀️ on Saturday morning, which augured well for our day in the “mountains”⛰️. Some of our number were exhibiting signs of overindulgence the previous evening. However we were all fortified by the wonderful breakfast 🍳 arrayed on the table before us. (Thank you early risers) The […]

Nine Knights set off at 11:30 initially through Great Broughton towards Kirkby and Great […]
ContinueRambling Round To Millington
Stepping out of the door this morning there was a distinct chill in the air compared to the previous few days. Cue heading back inside to don another layer plus arm warmers. Well perhaps it was just me as everyone else seemed dressed for summer. Four Knights set off from Market Cross to meet up […]
ContinueSix Go Exploring
Today’s route to Sledmere was proposed by Pugwash. Five Knights plus a guest rider Keith on a trial run attended at Market Cross. It was almost four plus one, but Colin with his reputation to uphold arrived with military precision at 09:29:55. I’m sure he hides around the corner counting down the seconds before finally […]
