Following a rest day on Monday, the Knights set out for another tough day in the saddle by completing the Sella Ronda circuit. A third ascent of the Campolongo pass to Arabba was followed by the climb over the Passo Pordoi. Next up was the climb over the Passo Sella and a well earned lunch […]

Fast and Furious 6
:Surgeons on fire After undertaking successful surgery on Captain Pugwash following his freak accident last week, Doctors Chad, Dave Wa, Dave Wi, Jenny, Michael and Sharrin choose to get away from the Market Cross hospital and take a relaxing ride to Hornsea.

ContinueA Hard Days Knight
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 […]

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 […]
