Eeee ‘Ello everybody! 🎵The sun is shining in the sky, there ain’t a cloud in sight. It’s stopped raining, everybody’s out to play….. 🎵. Well twelve to be precise, turned out for today’s ride to Shiptonthorpe. “Route today is via Riplingham, Melton, Welton, South/North Cave then Market Weighton to cafe” advised Neil. Setting out to […]

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.

“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 […]

Our meeting place for the start of the Coast & Castles ride was at the Hilton Gateshead. Iain & Mark set the tone for evening by heading straight to the bar like a pair of homing pigeons descending on a rattling corn tin. Viewing their freshly poured pints, lips salivating in anticipation until it came […]
ContinueHere Comes The Rain Again
🎵Fallin’ on my head like…… 🎵 An unwanted guest at a dinner party. The forecast for the day was a bit mixed but that didn’t stop nine Knights from taking their chances to meet up at Etton for the proposed ride to Millington. While waiting for the “appointed hour”, route master Raymond suggested a change […]
ContinueTuesday “Time Trial”
“Weather forecast is showing rain for 1200” advised Matt “Can we meet at Etton with an earlier start time of 0900?” he added tentatively. Shortly after he must have had second thoughts. “Is 9 too early maybe 0930?” he asked. The replies poured in from those who could attend, “I’ll be there” was the general […]
