#mycyclingweekend: Your best RideLondon photos!

Once a year 30,000-or-so of our lot find themselves spinning around the London and Surrey area on the biggest bike ride in the UK. Plenty of you #mycyclingweekenders took part this year, and you fired loads of your photos at us on Instagram & Twitter.

Here are a few of ours and Cycle Surgery's favourites. Keep your eyes peeled for this week's winner, too, who will roll away with a £40 Lezyne track pump!

Just like every year, this year's Prudential RideLondon saw loads of you thoroughly enjoying yourselves, plenty of you pushing your bike riding limits, and a few of you experiencing some bumps and bruises.

The full range of #mycyclingweekend emotions can be seen in your faces, and amongst those of you who didn't take part but went out for weekend rides nonetheless. Here are a few of our favourites.

First of all, there were loads of you out on the route this weekend.

We already know that there were some superstars on the course - Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas were both riding in the pro race - meanwhile our very own Laura Laker took to the South East roads.

Joining Laura was this week's #mycyclingweekend winner, Instagram user iupham, who took this sensational video during a stoppage.

For the incredibly insightful commentary alone we've awarded iupham with this week's Cycle Surgery prize!

 

So much... #mycyclingweekend #teamroadcc #cyclesurgery

Instagram user liamc_27 finished the ride in style, and mraclarkson caught this lovely shot of his set of wheels at the event.

We all know that success on a big ride like the RideLondon Surry 100 is all about preparation. Whether it's training, nutrition, or sleep, you must strike the right balance.

Instagram user rockcrasher is perhaps leaning too heavily on the sleep side of his preparations. We're sure your bike appreciated the rest, though.

 

Before a sportive, one must get as much rest as possible #cyclesurgery #mycyclingweekend

Talking about preparing for success, we reckon ryanjcains's son is on the right track to follow in Mr Froome's footsteps!

Not all of you were out riding in London, though. So here are a few of our other favourite photos of the week.
