Mutley suggested today’s destination of Ramblers Rest at Millington, however the route was laid out by Dick Dastardly. The plucky contestants arrived at Market Cross for the 0930 start bright eyed and bushy tailed except for the Gruesome Twosome who’d stayed up a bit late and were feeling a little under the weather. Bright sunshine […]
ContinueFair Wind to Fitling
Our own Ray of sunshine was not able to attend today’s ride, however there was enough rays from the sun to provide a little warmth on the backs of the assembled Knights. The café stop proposed by Admiral Neil was the Spotted Duck at Fitling. With light winds we expected a smooth passage out to […]

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.

Other ideas floated were the wearing […]
