title The BSCC Weekend Away, Buckden, St. Neots, Huntingdonshire - 15th May 2010 intro It's time for the annual BSCC Bike Ride thrash - this year to the Buckden Lion hotel, and a 30 or 40 (depending upon which bit of the route was skived off or not) mile trip encompassing a circuit around Grafham Water and a stop-off at a couple of pubs en-route. The weather's good, and Nosher is hauling The Boy around for the Grafham Water sections in what is his first trip with the group, before handing him back to Isobel, who gets picked up and meets us later at the lunch pub. Whilst at lunch, there's much talk about the record for largest steak consumed at the premises - a monster 72oz slab of meat. On the way back from the weekend, Nosher, Isobel and The Boy stop off at the International Kite Festival being held on Rougham airfield for an interesting couple of hours' diversion. imgp0867 Breakfast at the Buckden Lion imgp0870 Colin looks over imgp0872 Fred steals toast from Bill and Carmen imgp0874 Marc gets his belly out as bikes are unloaded imgp0877 Bill's dropped something out of a window imgp0880 Fred checks the air pressure on Alan's bike imgp0883 Spammy, Jill and Colin imgp0884 Fred hangs out with Jill and Colin imgp0885 More bikes appear imgp0886 The Boy is installed on Nosher's bike imgp0887 A BSCC group photo imgp0889 Paul waits for some mechanical fixing to occur imgp0890 Colin and Alan sort out mechanical issue imgp0891 We wait for the others to catch up imgp0892 Marc holds Pippa's bike up imgp0893 Isobel and the others catch up imgp0894 We cycle around Graffham Water imgp0895 There's a stop to read the info board imgp0900 There's more map checking by a pylon imgp0902 Another stop imgp0903 Isobel gets The Boy, and heads off imgp0904 At the top of a long drag, we pause for a break imgp0907 Bill is sitting in "bullshit corner" imgp0911 Lunch in the beer garden imgp0915 Fred and Marc share a moment imgp0918 Fred sits on a ride-on lawnmower imgp0922 Isobel watches Fred imgp0923 Fred plays around with a lawn tractor imgp0924 The lunch pub imgp0926 Bill carries Fred around imgp0928 Isobel with shades on imgp0932 Everyone's got their hands up imgp0935 Carmen hides under a table imgp0936 Bill's checks his feet imgp0937 Fred's loaded into the car imgp0938 A pause so Nosher can pump up his flat tyre again imgp0942 The splinter group at the Wheatsheaf, West Perry imgp0947 Bill, Phil, Colin and Jill at dinner imgp0949 Carmen has a smile imgp0950 Dinner is served imgp0958 The BSCC at dinner imgp0962 Spammy checks a list imgp0966 The Saga table imgp0969 The late-night crowd imgp0972 Marc reads a magazine imgp0980 Flags fly at the Suffolk International Kite Festival imgp0984 Random kites in the air imgp0996 Fred and Isobel imgp0997 Fred likes the stuff waving around in the wind imgp1003 Multiple streamers imgp1007 A load of windmills imgp1010 Fred roams amongst the windmills imgp1015 A Morris dancer waits for a toilet imgp1016 A horse and cart
