🎶Meet the gang, ‘cos the boys are here, the boys to entertain you 🎶 Another great turn out at Manor House for today’s “concert”. “RIGHT you horrible shower” intimated the RSM “Why are you lot not in uniform?…… DON’T answer that! Just get your sorry selves in the first group and get out of my […]
Continue“Roll-up! Roll-up! Calling all Knights. You are cordially welcome to take part in a jousting tournament at Castle Howard!” Given the nature of today’s route it should have said “Climb-up Roll-down”. Many Knights were obviously up for the challenge as we achieved our best turn out this year. Having so many at Market Cross meant […]
ContinueThe “kick-off” for today’s “match” between Beverley Town and Sheffield United was scheduled for 0930. The “home” team assembled at Market Cross while the “away” team gathered at the Dog & Duck in Walkington. As the home team made their way to the “pitch” a loud squeal of delight derision sounded from the “crowd”…. Oh, […]
ContinueTwelve disciples gathered at Manor House ready for a “hilly Billy” ride to Millington. Raymond suggested the route to Nunburnholme village where we would then decide which cafe to head for. Two groups set off through Cherry Burton to Etton. Chad, showing impressive “form”, soon took up the pace setting, holding the same position at […]
ContinueSaturday night 10pm – still only two takers for the BK Sunday club ride. Has ‘hill hunter’ James put people off with his ‘60-70 mile’ route with circa 3,500 foot of ascent including ‘the fourth hardest climb in East Yorkshire’ (although technically I think West Heslerton is in North Yorkshire). Or was it the 9am […]
ContinueSunshine encourages flowers to come out in bloom, so it seems it may also apply to Beverley Knights. Light winds, sunshine and not too hot, perfect for cycling, brought many Knights out for today’s ride to Millington. Michael suggested today’s route. Perhaps his middle name is “Torquemada” as I’m sure he intended to include both […]
ContinueThree men of the club, and who do you think were there, the butcher, the baker the candlestick maker, all of them hoping it’s fair. Seems like many others were put off by the gloomy forecast, unlike the butcher and baker who put their faith in the candle maker’s prediction of a weather window till […]
ContinueThe riders for today’s grand prix rolled up to the starting grid at Manor House. After the debrief, a circuit was agreed to minimise the effects of the strong winds. “🎙️And they’re off…..” Well not quite, some “numpty” 🤔 forgot to “fill the fuel tank”. A quick call to the AA (Angel 😇 Alison) and […]
ContinueNo not the song by Lindesfarne but the cafe on the corner at Beeford. Raymond suggested following last Tuesday’s route but in reverse, calling once again at the Willowgarth Cake & Coffee Shop. The pleasant weather brought out many members necessitating a split into two groups. A natural segregation presented itself as half of the […]
ContinueTo “spoil” the route? Raymond proposed the initial route plan to take in some hill climbing. Confusion reigned from the start as he kept referring to Barmby. Despite the references to the former Hull City player we all knew he actually meant Burnby, but why let that spoil a moment of fun. Six Knights set […]
