Looks like our brief spell of summer weather is rapidly coming to an end. How many layers do we require today? I think I had three rig changes before settling on base layer and top. It appears that most were similarly attired. Among the dozen assembled knights, was Paul a new member introduced by “Stormin” […]
ContinueThe Magnificent Seven Ride to Goodmanham
Beautiful unbroken sunshine greeted the “magnificent” seven knights assembled at Market Cross. The call had gone out, some bacon sandwiches, scones and cakes were in need of rescue at the Fiddle Drill. After deciding the best route, we mounted our steeds and headed out over the Westwood with James Coburn (“Britt” Alan) taking the initial […]
ContinueDash for the Cash
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. Admiral Neil stepped in to map out the route for the seven Knights who met at Market Cross including […]
ContinueTour of the Humber 2018
A good turn out of Knights for our first “Away Day” of 2018. Fourteen met at Market Cross at the earlier start time of 2 bells of the forenoon watch. Jonathon was only accompanying us until Newport before returning home. Another late re-entry was Chopper, having previously “called off” only to countermanded almost immediately by […]
ContinueA Taste of Summer
The great orange ball in the sky was a welcome sight again this morning following on from the warmest April day on record. It was off with the longs and out with the shorts, off with the mudguards out with the summer steeds. We were determined to make the most of this hot air from […]
ContinueMonday Sun ?
Anticipation of a sunny ride again brought 9 keen cyclists to the Market Cross for Monday ride. Some were keener than others to brave the shorts! The sun did make a brief appearance but it was a whole lot better than the previous week ! A route suggested earlier on Slack was “agreed” and we […]
ContinueWarter Sunny Day
It’s been a long time coming but lovely spring weather greeted the knights assembly at Market Cross. Some were daring enough to bare their peely wally legs to the elements. Still a bit too chilly for the rest of us. Eleven knights made the start including a rare sighting the lesser spotted Andy and last […]
ContinueMud Friday
My mum would have called it a “dreich” start to the day but that did not deter nine knights turning out at Market Cross. Many needing to get some miles in their legs before our first away day and C2C. With our route master Raymond returned from far flung corners of the Cornish empire, our […]
ContinueMonday evening rides are go !!
Despite the forecast of rain there was a good turnout at the Market Cross for the first Monday rides of 2018. 9 hardy cyclists headed off down Long Lane with Stephen and Dave doing a good job taking the wind for the rest of us. The rain didn’t dampen spirits and it was good to […]
ContinueAll Aboard to Allerthorpe
“Blistering Barnacles” what a great turn out today, all dressed up in our No.1’s; well, all except Martin, stubbornly clinging on to last years kit!! Can’t waste good quality gear. His punishment was to be the designated “grande depart” photographer. It was another rather dull day to greet us but with little wind to speak […]
