MyCyclingWeekend2018 - We Have a Winner

Ah, how lovely that the usual British summer has returned for #MyCyclingWeekend2018!

It was back to spending ages working out what kit to wear for the rainy, cool but rather sweaty conditions.

Personally, I made the big mistake of deciding it was freezing, then reaching for my full winter thermals. I wasn't cold, I just got very sweaty.

It also looks like loads of you were out too. Just a little reminder that we're switching to #MyCyclingWeekend2018. 

Before we get to this week's winner, let's take a look at some of the entries. Our header image this week comes from Bo Andersen. Seems it wasn't just us sheltering from the heavy rain.

Jan wanted to make climbing harder. Why not throw cobbles into the mix?

 

Another amazing ride for the books. Cardinal Bridge to Conklin to Benham Falls to the top of Lava Butte and then back to Sunriver. The #specializeddiverge took everything thrown at it, from #gravel to #jeeptrail to #washboards to #singletrack and then to #tarmac. Cannot be more #stoked than to ride the #diverge. #iamspecialized #iamdiverge #doyoudab #doyougravel #seekanddiverge #seekandgravel #mycyclingweekend #brokenhiprecovery

Gravel bikes are rather handy when the tarmac runs out.

Look's like Soloman's job today is cleaning his bike...

 

Lush ride out to Dieulefit and Montjoux this morning. Lovely scenery. #mycyclingweekend

The Rhone-Alpes looks lovely.

Not sure who laid this road, but there's a few in Somerset that need doing!

Quite right Dale. Rather damp.

 

Discovered there was a new @sustrans route (33) that joined Brean with WSM, so decided to take a somewhat scenic 130km ride down to Burnham-on-sea and ride it back to Bristol. Some amazing riding and views... Brean truely is something from another world. - Limited photos because it was rather damp...

Our winner this week is Chris who took some great shot while out on a casual 130km loop to the seaside. Not a day for ice creams though.
