The “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, […]
ContinueRamble to Millington
Twelve 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 […]
ContinueFun Boy Three, Hunting High & Low
Saturday 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 […]
ContinueBaker’s Dozen
Sunshine 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 […]
ContinueRub A Dub Dub
Three 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 […]
ContinueBeverley Grand Prix
The 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 […]
ContinueMeet Me on the Corner
No 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 […]
ContinueHow Many Cooks…
To “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 […]
ContinueA Tale of Two Rides
The early morning express departed at 0830 with four passengers bound for Hornsea. Following an anticlockwise direction to Routh, Meaux and on to Long Riston before heading by way of Mappleton to Hornsea. The 0930 express train set off with five Knights from Market Cross Station via Molescroft Road to Cherry Burton. The sunshine and […]
ContinueLong Stop on a Short Ride
“Some people have got an itch. They think it’s all over!” Well not quite but at least we can form smaller groups and “buddy” rides until things change. Five Knights assembled at Manor House. After Raymond outlined the proposed route, thoughts turned to possible cafe stops along the way. Following several suggestions, mention of Rachel’s […]
