“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Eleven Knights turned out to join the “team bus” for a tour around the local area. Confusion reigned from the start when Pugwash spotted James G heading in the opposite direction on the way to the start. “I’m sure Neil said Manor House” thought Pugwash waving a cheery hello in passing. “Sunday’s are always 0930 […]
