Eight hardy souls turned out to make the most of the benign winter weather and to work off some calories before the big Xmas party bash. A slight change to the normal start point with everyone meeting at Manor House. The lure of the caveman breakfast at Driffield proved a draw for some as the […]
ContinueA Dog’s Brexit
Six members of the select Committee met at Market Cross on a bright sunny but cold morning. Mother Theresa had suggested we follow her Beverley-Routh-Exit plan, which would lead eventually to Burton Constable. Last to arrive on the scene was “See You Jimmy”, SNP representative for Beverley South & East, still sporting the after effects […]
ContinueCarry On Cycling
Well that was a right “carry on”. It started before it had even begun with (Carry on Regardless) Pugwash coming a cropper (yes again) on the way to Market Cross. Having caught up with (Carry on Doctor) Sharrin near Wednesday Market, she stopped at a zebra crossing, where a gentleman was about to begin crossing, […]
ContinueThere and Back Again
It was a grey and dank morning in the Shires as Gandalf (Pugwash) and the Hobbits, along with Thorin Oakenshield (Dave Wat) and his band of dwarves gathered round the Market Cross. Our task this morning was to seek out the sustenance offered by the Bells Mill café in the far flung Driffield region of […]
ContinueA Bridge Not Too Far
A glorious sunny but chilly morning greeted the seven knights as they assembled at Manor House. First to “drop anchor” was the Admiral accompanied by the Rear-Admiral.

The mixed bag offered by the weather forecasters did not deter ten hardy knights from turning out at Market Cross.

ContinueTime to Layer Up
Looks like the last of the decent weather for the moment, so eight knights plus one honorary knight Sean turned out to “enjoy” the last hurrah. The morning chill saw everyone layering up to protect themselves, except for “Iron Man” Mike, who must have forgotten he’d returned home from foreign holidays and was still sporting […]
ContinueSUNny DAY ride to Burton Agnes
The “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” continue to provide us with superb cycling weather and inspired ten knights to make the most of it and bask in the morning sunshine as we gathered around the Market Cross. Having recently returned from foreign travels celebrating his retirement, Mike put in his first appearance for some […]
ContinueDrifting to Driffield
It was cool sunny autumnal morning as the fleet convened at Manor House. Our trading destination today was the Bike Cave at northerly port of Driffield as suggested by Greybeard the Pirate. A cheery mood, inspired by the perfect riding conditions, was prevalent as the motley crew set off to rendezvous with “Davy” Jones at […]
ContinueSunday Masterclass
There was a distinct chill in the air this morning as the Master Painters gathered to compare their respective tools and equipment. Today was also the Beverley Food Festival with stalls aplenty set out all around the Market Cross. It would have been very tempting to just ride around the square and sample the wares […]
