It was a cold damp start to the morning following the previous night’s rain. Seven Knights braved the chill at Market Cross to head for the Cheese Shop at Howden suggested by Captain Pugwash. In the send off party was Mrs Pugwash who came to say hello before setting off on her own ride. Unfortunately […]
ContinueThe Puddin’ Race
In remembrance and with apologies to Rabbie Burns, The cow’rin’ timorous beasties congregated at Market Cross to exercise the heart within their breasties. The chieftain o’ the Puddin’ race said with all good grace, “We can head out Eastie in search of the flying beastie, or make our way, bold and brave, all the way […]
ContinueFailing by the Wayside
“Shiver me timbers, it’s cold out there” thought Captain Pugwash as he arrived at Market Cross where ready, keen and waiting was the latest addition to the fleet, cabin boy Cueball Dave. A hardy looking soul judging by his choice of outfit. Next to join the assembly was quartermaster Brainfeeder Brian who’d never sneek up […]
ContinueWindy Road to Fitling
You say windy, I say windy let’s not call the whole thing off. After a lot of humming and heying and hedging bets, we saw six Knights turn out at Market Cross. Pugwash was adopted as route master for the day after suggesting the Spotted Duck cafe as the destination, and he was the only […]

Grey skies and cold air did not prevent a good turn out for Friday’s ride. Eleven Knights turned out at Market Cross, including one newbie. Oh no not another David! Nickname will be required if he signs up. At least he will help to lower the average age of the club! In the absence of […]

Six Knights assembled at Market Cross before setting off over the Westwood to meet up with another four at Manor House.

Continue11 Pipers Piping
On the 11th day of Christmas my true love said to me “WHO ATE ALL THE PIES?” My effort to blend into the furniture was somewhat hindered by the fact that like Pinnochio, my belly expanded an inch every time I ate a pie. A withering finger and accusatory stare homed in on said belly […]

ContinueSunny Sunday
There was sunshine ☀️ after the rain ☔ so the song says and so it proved. Wet roads and bright sun greeted the seven dwarfs at the later starting time of 10am. Sneezy suggested heading out to Newbald and……. (atishoo) Hotham then North Cave, South Cave with cafe stop in Little……. (atishoo) Weighton. Following our […]
ContinueXmas Party Ride
Eight hardy souls turned out to make the most of the benign winter weather and to work off some calories before the big Xmas party bash. A slight change to the normal start point with everyone meeting at Manor House. The lure of the caveman breakfast at Driffield proved a draw for some as the […]
