The “battle” for superiority is already well under way despite the inclement weather of recent months. KOM Challenge – Steep Hill to Comberdale In the “Hall of the Mountain Goats” we have a tremendous face-off between two matched contenders with Sir Sean throwing down the initial gauntlet posting a time of 5:50.

ContinueSolstice Ride 2024
Thursday 20th June the Knights held their annual solstice ride from Beverley to Hornsea and back stopping off at Berts Pizzeria at Brandesburton. With almost perfect cycling conditions we had a good turn out. Setting out from Market Cross the pace was high right from the go. The route we followed took us firstly to […]
ContinueA Winters Tale… In June?
Well the forecasters were at it again, filling us with gloom and doom and trying to rain on our parade. What to wear with such a mixed forecast would have been on everyone’s mind before setting out. Some Knights arrived dressed for summer…. it is over half way through June after all, others dressed for […]
ContinueKnights Landing
“Weather looking good tomorrow” announced ‘Squadron Leader’ Raymond “Perfect for a ‘low level’ assault on the beaches of the Eastern front. ‘Take off’ will begin at 0945 from Market Cross.” A total of fourteen Knights gathered ‘on the runway’ at the appointed hour to be greeted with grey skies and a light breeze. “Jings it’s […]
ContinueMallorca – Knights Abroad
This year’s foreign adventure saw seven Knights heading to the popular cycling destination of Mallorca. Day one consisted of a shortish 43km route but included over 1000m of climbing as they set out from “base camp” in Port de Pollenca to the most northerly point of Cape Formentor and back. On day 2 the group […]
ContinueSojourn to the South Side
This Friday was pencilled in as an “Away Day” with a chance to ride in an area we don’t normally visit. On this occasion we decided to meet at the Humber Bridge car park before heading “o’er the water”. Six Knights took up the challenge for a sixty miler down to Caistor and back however […]
ContinueFry Day Ride
Our usual Friday route master Raymond is off on holiday 🍻🍷but at least he left a “ray” of sunshine. Typical that, going off on holiday for warmth and sunshine and there’s a heatwave ☀️ at home. There was a smaller turnout today compared with recent rides for Captain Pugwash’s ‘Tour de Gransmoor’. It was mostly […]
ContinueBack To School
This Tuesday saw the Knights heading back to school…. and No… it’s not Knight school but a real bona-fide primary school. “Meet at the Cherry Burton duck pond at 0920” reminded Neil. Arriving at said “duck pond” there was no sign of anybody until Russell appeared a few minutes later. As we looked at our […]

It’s been quite a ‘mixed bag’ of weather this week. Tuesday’s ride failed to materialise due to strong winds and showers in the forecast…… except for Neil and Heather who braved the conditions only to wonder why they bothered as they returned home completely ‘nithered’. Thursday we had four seasons in one day with warm […]
ContinueSpring Is In The Air
… Well at least the sun was shining and it was actually dry for a change. Unfortunately the pesky wind from the North East made it feel like someone had left the fridge door open. Seven Knights gathered at Market Cross along with a lovely group of WOW ladies. After setting off through town our […]
