Managed to finish the Cyclechat ABC Street Names Challenge today.
Had to work much harder to get "Z", 13.5 miles to Sunderland, Roker area, to find "Zion Terrace".
The good news was, sunny with cloud, and not raining, very windy however.

I am still waiting for my parcel from China. I know it's in the UK now. Hopefully it will arrive Monday or Tuesday.
My parcel, which was supposedly coming from Leicester, but, mysteriously ended up in Customs, arrived on Friday.
I have been waiting for my "parcel" from Thailand for months. She looked nice in the message but if her time keeping is going to be this bad I am having 2nd thoughts.I am still waiting for my parcel from China. I know it's in the UK now. Hopefully it will arrive Monday or Tuesday.
Do you think I can get my £5K back ?
Our son who runs a pub near Nottingham phone earlier to say he is coming over this afternoon. Not seen him since November.
MrsD was lying down in the conservatory feeling sorry for herself.
Conversation went.......
Me. Our David messaged. He is coming over to see us before lockdown.
MrsD.... HE IS NOT COMING IN THIS SH*T HOLE !!!
Me....it will take 20 minutes to clear everything up.
MrsD....so why is it like this??
Me....erhh, because it is all your stuff
TBF I am having to do most cleaning etc so I found it quite funny.
All cleared up now.
MrsD is in bed for a couple of hours kip.
Son is on his way.
All is well

Ale looks good.
Roast spuds look good.

Can I ask if this is near where you live? I just wondered because I thought you were much further north.
Mrs P hails from Gala so I know the general area quite well.
It seems to be quite a modern thing.
I can only presume that the riding position on the modern bikes is so cramped that they feel the need to get the feeling back into their legs when they can.
Either that, or someone who was winning all the races a few years ago did it, and everyone else thought that must be the way to do it.
Never did it in my day.
