title	The BSCC Cycling Weekend, The Swan Inn, Thaxted, Essex - 12th May 2012
intro	It's the BSCC's annual weekend away. This time it's a return visit to Thaxted in Essex, last visited in 2008, for a slightly different route but with a stop at the same pub in Finchingfield for lunch. The weather turns out to be pretty ideal for cycling as we catch a weekend in-between unseasonally cold and wet weather. Despite that, it's a bit chilly at first for Fred who's sitting in his seat on the back of the bike again.
