This evening’s ride saw the Knights heading south to Thearne via Long Lane and on to Dunswell, Cottingham and Skidby before heading north through Little Weighton over High Hunsley and down to Newbald then onto the climb up Stoneknowe Hill to Gardham. Next up was the 2018 Sprint challenge on the way to Etton before […]
ContinueDogtanian and the Three Muskehounds
The weather forecast and outside commitments put paid to the ambitions of some to join the Sunday club ride. Encouraged by the redoubtable Dogtanian (Pug) the three Muskehounds, Athos (Brian), Aramis (Paul) and Porthos (Colin) reported for duty at Market Cross at the later time of 10am. Monsieur de Treville set us the task of […]
ContinueFamous Five Set Off to TJ’s
Now then boys, it’s a little windy this morning and the bright sunshine isn’t quite strong enough to provide the heat we have experienced of late, so make sure you wrap up warm and choose a route to keep the wind at your back. Some of your friends have decided to give it a miss […]
ContinueWhoa Where’d They Go?
Attention on deck!! We have some new crew members to boost our number today. Bosun Russel introduced his son Cadet Philip to the assembly, looking to boost his cycling fitness. That should help bring the average age down a bit! Geoff and Sandra were the other new faces looking to join us for our ride […]
ContinueA French Adventure
” order_by=”imagedate” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″] The adventure began as soon as we stepped aboard the ferry Pride of Bruges bound from Hull to Zeebrugge with Captain Pugwash, Mathew, Neil and Heather meeting up in the bar…….as you do.

ContinueA Day at the Velodrome
All set for fun and games at the Derby velodrome….. oh no we’re not…. oh yes we are, only it turns out it was Manchester Velodrome. Fortunately Sharrin realised her mistake at the 11th hour and was able to round up the troops before they’d all set off for Derby. The only casualty of the […]
ContinueA Perfect Ten
We started off a perfect ten but there is always someone to spoil the score, but more of that later. Wing Commander Raymond had suggested a minutes silence in respect of the late Alan Longmuir of Bay City Rollers fame of whom he intimated Sharrin was a big fan. Other ideas floated were the wearing […]
ContinueSummer Solstice Ride 2018
The Knights annual summer solstice ride sees our intrepid bunch heading for the coastal town of Hornsea and back for drinks and food at the Corner House. In the absence of the Admiral, it was left to Vice Admiral to rally the troops. His offer of drinks and peanuts was somewhat underwhelming but non-the-less heralded […]
ContinueFather’s Day Ride
Following a successful Knights Summer barbecue, a huge turn out was not expected, however despite lack of sleep and feeling a little worse for wear, some managed to force themselves, not only to turn out but add an additional 20 miles before the start. That’s one way to clear the cobwebs. No doubt the ZZZZZZs […]
ContinueBack to the Bike Cave Rayban
Is it a holiday…is it a Sunday…no it was just a good turn out for a warm sunny Friday ride, or in the words of General Custer “Holy Mackerel, look at all those bike-mobiles”. Today’s suggested café stop was the Bike Cave in Driffield. Accompanying Bikeman and Rayban, were another eleven villainous groupies. The number […]
