Ten Knights set off from Market Cross promptly at 9am, although Andy appeared just in time to see the peloton disappearing round the corner as he arrived. Today’s route was proposed by Matthew with our cafe stop at the Ginger Cow near Everingham. The main feature of this ride was the brisk westerly wind which […]
ContinueKnight Riders to Sledmere
In the absence of our illustrious Friday route master the call went out to keep the “flag flying”. Stepping into the breech on this occasion was Corporal Jones with a decisiveness worthy of a soldier in the battlefield on seeing his commander mortally wounded, suggesting a route out to Sledmere. Given the thumbs up from […]
ContinueHotfoot to Howden
Today’s ride saw seven Knights setting off from Market Cross to meet up with a further five near the Dog & Duck pub in Walkington. The route was generally flat but with a few hills to warm up on and a few more near the end to test the legs. First up was Bluestone Bottoms […]
ContinueSolstice Pizza Express
Did someone say Pizza! Yes I’m in, and me, and me, me too. Coupled with a pleasant sunny evening it seems it doesn’t take much to persuade us Knights to turn out in force. In previous years, the aim of the Solstice Ride was to get to Hornsea and back to the Corner House pub […]
ContinueWolds Way 2019
The View From The Captain’s Cabin It was with some trepidation when I decided to join in this epic 150 mile Wolds Way ride, however I was not alone in never having ridden so far. Chris said his longest ride to date was 60 miles. At least I’d completed 100 miles a number of years […]
ContinueKnights Over the Humber
There was a split in the peloton today as seven Knights turned out to take part in this year’s Humber Bridge Sportive while another seven gathered at Market Cross for the normal Sunday club ride. An early start saw the Humber Seven gather at 0730 for registration, ready for the start at 0815. Setting off […]
ContinueCruise to Driffield
Today’s ride saw twelve Knights turn out at Market Cross including a new member James…. that should bring the average age down a bit! On arrival, Neil was spotted in the clothes shop, hope he wasn’t looking for new kit, otherwise we’d end up a bit retro with shirt and tie with trousers and bicycle […]
ContinueA Day at the Races
Not the horsey sort but the Jane Tomlinson Run for All Hull 10km and Half Marathon. Four of our members volunteered to serve as “lead out riders” following a request from the organisers to stand in after another group were unable to help. Neil and Pugwash led the half marathon while Mike and Chad led […]
ContinueNe’er cast a Clout
…. Till May is out, as the old expression goes. Well this is the last day of May, though a little dull this morning, there was definitely a little more warmth in the south westerly air than we’ve had of late. Eight Knights reported for duty at Market Cross including Karl, a potential newbie and […]
ContinueHere Comes the Sun
After a long voyage through Arctic waters and battling adverse winds, the sun put in a glorious appearance to warm the soul and brighten the countenance of our crew. Bib shorts and short sleeves were order of the day with seven members reporting for duty at Market Cross including newbie Chris complete in what looked […]
