Well that’s October rolling in already bringing along with it some distinctly autumnal weather, which of course has curtailed a number of the recent club rides. However all is not gloom and doom with the sun putting in a welcome appearance for this Fridays ride to Allerthorpe. Eleven Knights plus one guest rider gathered at […]
ContinueFriday The 13th
There was no sign of paraskevidekatriaphobia (fear of Friday 13th) this morning as 11 Knights turned up at Market Cross for a 50 mile ride with a cafe stop at Hutton Cranswick Farm Shop. In fact there was more superstition surrounding Michael’s proclamation that he was riding his new bike which our recently departed friend […]

… and what better place to go than the seaside. As the eighteen Knights gathered at Market Cross Raymond must have thought “Is it my birthday or are you all just pleased to see me back?” Splitting into smaller groups, we set off through town to the Weel Bridge with Colin leading the “breakaway” group. […]

Blue skies complimenting the blue of the club kit greeted the Knights as a larger group than we’ve seen on recent Sundays gathered at Market Cross for a ride out to Withernsea and the Blue Light Weekend.

Coming […]

Seven Knights met for a long and hilly ride to Castle Howard. The route took in the climb up to Huggate followed by a drop down to Thixendale. Rising out of the valley towards Leavening we continued westerly into the wind to Barton-le-Willows before looping northwards to Castle Howard. Our return route took in Malton, […]
ContinueThe Cats at the Fiddle
In the absence of Raymond, this Friday’s ride was organised by top cat ‘Jenks’. “Meet at Walkington pond 10am for ride ‘over the hills and not too far away’”. Nine ‘cats’ arrived to bask in the morning sunshine in the bus shelter by the pond. Eventually it was time to ‘play’ and the ‘clowder’ set […]
