A bluebell wood on the way round
The BSCC Annual Bike Ride, Marquess of Exeter, Oakham, Rutland - 12th May 2001
The Brome Swan Cycle Club goes on its annual weekend away, this time to the Marquess of Exeter hotel in Oakham, right at the foot of the steepest hill in England. At least that's what it feels like on the way up. After that, it's a spin around Rutland Water, including the flooded church at Normanton, and dinner at the hotel. Note: these photos were overwritten with their scaled versions a long time ago, so are blurrier than normal.
