Home Counties Rally or Birthday rides?
If I had access to the CUK Oxfordshire e mail list, I might trace the Oxfordshire jersey (pink/purple) in the photo and get the answer... Can't quite ID the rider.

Similarly, I was puzzling about the East Riding jersey on the left and wondering about Beverley, but that's not a city. I used to live in York but the street scene doesn't jump out.

We haven't been told it's not York yet though.....

The question under the photo was "Preferably the street name, not just the city" so I am thinking about cities until I hear differently.

Yes , I noticed that when zoomed in and that's how I identified it. Google search Cross Keys pub in Medieval City -hey presto !

Feel free to carry on @backnotes or anyone as I'm off out for my daily exercise.

Ah - well done! I had found Cross Keys in York, but was staring at it from the wrong direction in Goodramgate in StreetView and scratching my head. So, close, but no cigar!

I'm off out too now, so someone else have a go.

Here's a quick one off my phone to be going on with. Where is this and what makes it special? I'm sure someone will have cycled past it so should be quick to solve.

The triangular bridge in Crowland.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

I hope this is recognisable, though it is not a landmark which can be seen from the saddle.
