This week’s Friday ride saw the return of our illustrious route master! It appears that the last few “flat” rides in his absence had not gone unnoticed as he announced in the preamble that “there will be some hills”. Eight Knights reported for duty as Team BK assembled on the start line at Manor House. […]

“Where are we going again?” said one, “Burton Constable” said another. “How are we getting there then” enquired yet another. “By Bewholme” said one while someone else claimed “By Sproatley”. Are we confused yet, bring back a proper route master I say! Meanwhile Heather was trying desperately to text the route instructions to Neil (in […]

Normally when food is mentioned in “despatches” the number of “trawlers” multiplies by a factor of two. On this occasion however we had some away on far flung “hunting grounds” plus a few others with “engine” problems preventing them taking advantage of the bountiful offerings at Hornsea Inshore Rescue. Seven trawlers gathered at Market Cross […]

In season one, we saw the all conquering Olivier crowned King of the Mountain, defeating all opponents on the “battle of Chris’s Hill” waving his “Spotty Pants” for all to see from the highest point. On the lower slopes of the “Ionians Pass”, Chris Shep blew away all with a blistering burst of pace to […]

Today’s ride was a change from our normal as the Knights paid tribute to one of our members Steve “Robbo” Robson, who was sadly taken from us long before his allotted time. Seven Knights departed from Manor House to follow a route finishing at Hullensions Club in Anlaby where a celebration of his life was […]

The opening gambit for this Friday’s ride came from Raymond but initially there was no route forthcoming. Perhaps he was keeping his cards close to his chest, waiting to see how many “players” were going to turn up. “We have a limited number of ‘casinos’ where they can easily cater for so many ‘high rollers’” […]
ContinueSteady As She Goes!
Steady… there are several ways to interpret this seemingly innocuous word, as an adjective it could mean constant or changeless etc, even fixed, firm, fast. One could also use it as a verb or noun. In seafaring terms it is used to advise the helmsman to maintain the same heading. I’m not sure what meaning […]
ContinueSome Like It Hot
Talk about “hot off the press”, within three minutes of Raymondo posting the route for today’s ride there was a quick ‘screeching of brakes’ after Russell advised that the Stoneknowle road appeared to be closed. “OK let’s sleep on it and decide in the morning”. If anyone thought they were going to escape ‘hills’ by […]
ContinueSome People Are On the Pitch
Matty was first to “pitch” the route for today’s ride to Ulrome. “Meet at Market Cross 0930” he said but when the start time was called into question he responded with “Just checking to see if you are all awake. OK make it 0900 kickoff” The “game” started with only ten “players” but all systems […]
