Feeling better after his ‘battle’ against the ‘lurgy’ King Raymond was keen to ‘rally his troops’ for a flat ‘sedentary’ ride to Hornsea. “I’m keen to get back in the saddle so suggest our usual route to the Floral Hall” he called before adding a small caveat, “May not make the whole ride but will […]
ContinueAn Immaculate Concept
After weeks of wet and/or icy weather, today on the “Feast of the Immaculate Conception” we saw a brief lull in the inclement weather allowing this Friday’s ride to Hutton Cranswick Farm Shop to go ahead. Eight Knights turned out at Etton for a 10am start including Michael who, after three punctures in four rides, […]
ContinueLet The Sun Shine
🎶Let the sun shine in 🎶. This Friday’s ride was blessed with a brief respite between the many showers and storms of recent weeks to present us with almost perfect cycling conditions. Thirteen Knights turned out for the start at Walkington Pond to take advantage of the wall to wall sunshine and light winds to […]
ContinueRemember Remember
The “plotters” were invited to gather in a huddle at The Light Dragoon in Etton with the promise of a spectacular display of cycling. The only thing threatening to “spoil the party” was the remnants of the overnight rain. Fortunately, like a damp squib it fizzled out by the time the twelve Knights had arrived. […]

Setting out to […]
ContinueOctober Revolutions
No, nothing to do with bolsheviks, but all to do with the spinning of bicycle wheels as the Knights went “rushin’” out to the east. Despite the damp wet roads and dull grey clouds blanketing the sky we had a great turnout at Market Cross. Eleven Knights set off through town towards Weel road meeting […]

Greetings my Lords, Ladies and other Pronouns, gather around for the latest news from the three kingdoms of the Easteriding. The battle for the “crown” at Burton Gates was seemingly decided early when our gallant knight Sir Michael De Kerrigan mounted his express steed and scorched through the “field” at a terrifying pace to set […]

“P Off Early Tomorrow’s Saturday” though I don’t think it has the same significance for most of our “Friday Riders”. Early warning notice came from regular Friday route master Raymond “Sorry can’t make it this week, so someone else will have to lead”. Iain was first to respond somewhat unsurely, only to say he had […]
