The northerly wind continues to blow and Michael decided which way to go! Out towards Huggate then to Wetwang we’d leg it, before heading south riding the wave, all the way to Driffield and the Bike Cave. Well no-one said he was a poet, but it appears his skills as route master were also called […]
ContinueMany Ways To Howden
This Sundays ride saw our largest turn out so far this year. Two groups of six started off from Market Cross while a third group set off from Manor House. We followed an anticlockwise direction taking us first to North Newbald then Hotham. It was here the first deviation took place when the “Smithy” group […]
ContinueTrumpton Express
Here at the Cross, the market cross, well in time, steadily, sensibly, not too quickly, not too slowly, falling in line were the firemen of Trumpton along with a number of citizens. Captain Flack called the “brigade” to order. “Right men, action stations” he said “There will be two “tenders”, in the first we have […]

ContinueThe Iron Throne
The “battle” for the Iron Throne has been somewhat quiet recently after an earlier flurry brought in new champions. This has been mainly due to the “protection” put in place on both “battle grounds”. First we had roadworks on Kirk Lane, then later on the main road in Walkington. We also had roadworks pop up […]
ContinueThe Grateful Ate
This Tuesday evening ride was a replacement for our cancelled solstice ride from June. The fact that the pizza was on offer at half price was just coincidence 🍕😉 Eight members turned out to take advantage of “Dishy Rishi’s” largesse. Before any eagle eyed people say “But there are nine in the picture” the “Sheriff […]
ContinueFast & Furious Three
In contrast to Friday’s scorching hot day, we were treated to somewhat cooler temperatures aided by the cloud cover and the North easterly breeze. It did nothing to deter our intrepid Knights as we had another good turn out at Market Cross. Split into three groups and setting off at various intervals. “We’ll be back […]
