“‘Ere Ray, I ‘eard on the grapevine that there’s some rich pickin’s to be had in Millington. Sumfink about ramblers resting on their laurels.” “OK” said Ray “Round up the gang and we’ll head out there. I could just murder me a bacon sarnie”. “Our boy Seadog ‘unter said he can’t make it this time. […]
ContinueSwallows and Amazons
This Sunday it was “chairman’s choice” for a ride similar to the previous Sunday but in reverse order. Nine Knights turned out seeking an adventure. Splitting into two groups the Swallows team consisted of Paul W, James G, Karl and Chad, leaving Neil, Heather, Pugwash, Mark and Mike forming the Amazon team. The Swallows departed […]
ContinueDragon’s Revenge
The rallying cry went up from St George for volunteers to ride out and hunt for a “Dragon” said to be devouring everything in its path and leaving pestilence and devastation sweeping the countryside in its wake. Within hours we had sixteen gallant Knights “booted and spurred” ready for the challenge. Overwhelmed by the response, […]

No, not the colourful little things with wings 🐝, but the Blues of Beverley Knights buzzed round Beverley, Brandesburton, Bewholme, Beeford, Bainton, Bishop Burton.

ContinueTour De Huggate
Commissaire for today’s tour stage was Raymond. On announcing the route, he informed everyone that he’d be “leading” from behind in the “gruppetto”. Almost immediately a chorus rang out reminiscent of the film Spartacus. “I’m gruppetto”, “I am gruppetto”, ” No I’m gruppetto”. Fifteen Knights elected to take part in today’s hilly 50 miler. Splitting […]
ContinueEaster Sunny Ride
Today’s route was suggested by Pugwash taking the Knights out to Huggate then Market Weighton for a cafe stop before returning home. “How far are going?” wailed Chris “I want to do around 50 miles”. An arbitrary distance had not sprung to mind, so to avoid him throwing his “toys out of the pram” I […]
ContinueA Long Cold Lonely Winter
This week has seen the return of group riding. Monday night heralded the first club ride of the year following the relaxation of pandemic restrictions. Right on cue, 🎶Here comes the Sun🎶 Two groups set off for a 25 mile loop around via Lund. Unfortunately with the pubs still closed they had to forgo the […]

Here we are in “lockdown 3” and coupled with a prolonged icy spell 🥶 it has severely curtailed our outdoor activities. However it has not dented our enthusiasm to “boldly go where many have gone before, to seek out new ways” to feed our “fix” to get on two wheels. Many of our “crew” have […]
