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 […]

Sunday rides took on a new system today, splitting the ride into groups of similar abilities so more members can attend Sunday rides. As a result Ray met us at Tickton and Rachel on her first Sunday ride met us at Brandesburton.The group set off together from the Market Cross in good spirits especially Mark […]

“Hello Kevin; Hello Kevin” – sometimes we need something as simple as that to think of a theme for the latest blog. How Puggy keeps thinking of different, fresh themes week in week out I’ll never know. Anyway, Python Neil and Python Mark are on top form as they reel off joke after joke, getting […]

Ten Knights confirmed they would be out for Neil’s ride to the Ginger Cow at Everingham this morning. But what’s this, a late entry? Well I say ‘late’, but one could argue it was ‘early’ as it was posted at 03:42am. Who could be sending messages at that time of the morning you may ask. […]

Monday saw our best turn out this year for our traditional annual solstice ride to Hornsea and back. 22 Knights took part setting off in two groups. The “Pensioner” (apologies to the ‘younger’ interlopers 😁) train leaving Market Cross at 6pm followed by the “Young Guns” train at 6:30pm. Now you may be wondering what […]

“Looks like we have enough for a football team today” thought Pugwash scanning over the “team sheet” this morning. As it turned out, we were one short at the start (even with the addition of a “trialist”) following a couple of withdrawals. Colin was last to arrive just as we were thinking that he was […]

“There’s none of this turning left on this ride” announced Ray at the gathering of the clans. A particularly bold statement to make considering he’d proposed an anticlockwise route around Ulrome. We know what you meant Ray! 🤔 Eight Knights assembled at Market Cross for Ray’s “meander” to Hutton Cranswick via Ulrome. The gods smiled […]

Today’s route took the Knights to the Eastern front with cafe stop at the historic Burton Constable Hall. Ten Knights plus two guests gathered at Market Cross. “Are we all here now?” enquired Neil. “Just Michael to come” came the reply. Right on cue, he appeared around the corner. Checking his watch as he pulled […]

In less than an hour after Ray announced Friday’s destination we had eleven Knights indicating they were coming along for the ride. A further two adding their names later brought the total to a round “bakers” dozen. Michael arrived at Manor House just in time for the “photo-opportunity” but tried his best to keep out […]

The early morning forecast was predicting temperatures to rise and a sunnier outlook as the day progressed. Indeed as Pugwash arrived at Manor House along with Colin there did appear to some “brightness” in the area. Turned out it wasn’t the sun after all but the the reflection from the brilliantly polished “guns” on display […]
