The BSCC at Rushall, South Lopham and Redgrave - 25th May 2023

A large turnout, at least for recent years, of the remains of the Brome Swan Cycle Club heads out on an epic three-pub trip, starting out at White Horse at South Lopham - for the first time in at least a decade - followed by the Cross Keys in Redgrave, and finally the Cherry Tree at Yaxley. The week before, there's another BSCC ride out to the Half Moon at Rushall - another pub that hadn't been visited in probably 15 years, but which turns out to be well worth the ride, with three ales on. In between the two trips, there's the annual plant sale at Brome Village Hall, and there's a very purple field of chives in flower, near Crossing Road on the edge of Palgrave.
