It was a dull start to the day, unlike Raymond’s proposed route to TJ’s . There was the usual gathering of Dad’s Army characters plus a few others who’d managed to blag time off from work. Seven Knights set off from Market Cross meeting up with Neil, Heather & Lesley at Manor House. Greetings in […]
ContinueRumble round to Millington
Eleven knights put in an appearance at Market Cross this morning. It was a cloudy dull start, but with little wind it promised to be perfect for cycling. Only fly in the ointment was a possible shower forecast for around 1pm. While waiting for everyone to gather, a familiar looking cyclist passed by, Graham Stuart. […]

ContinueDirty Dozen do the Fiddle Drill

ContinueThe Magnificent Seven Ride to Goodmanham
Beautiful unbroken sunshine greeted the “magnificent” seven knights assembled at Market Cross.

Our trusty Friday navigator was feeling under the weather this morning and was not able to make the start. A flat steady ride had been proposed with Capt’n Pugwash suggesting Burton Agnes as a possible destination.
