#mycyclingweekend: A bit of muck & some stunning scenery

This #mycyclingweekend we were looking for a bit of beauty. We weren't particularly fussy about where it came from, and we were well aware that at this time of year muck can get in the way of beauty, but with the help of Cycle Surgery we found a winner.

We received plenty of photos of beautiful things this weekend. Views, bikes, and smiles all featured, but it in true inclusive #mycyclingweekend fashion, it was family that won out.

Stephen Hallam went out for a weekend ride with family and caught this great shot out side outside a holiday cottage in Llangollen, Wales.

We hope you had a great weekend, Stephen, and that this prize is the icing on the cake.

Elsewhere there were some incredible photos taken by you guys - we really did see some spectacular early October skies!

Raf Harzhorne's photo of this stunning reflective river was one of our favourites, while Jimmidnicholls caught an amazing perspective of Durham via cobbles, which we also loved.

Twitter user MirelandMark talked himself out of this week's cleaning product prize by convincing us that he didn't need it. That's a great shot of a beautiful bike, Mark.

There were plenty more great shots of you guys out riding, here are a few more of our favourites, indluding the excellent road.cc ride out in association with Decathlon up in Sheffield.

 

Tough day in the peloton chasing a 4 man breakaway at the Pimperne Road Race, legs died on the climb to the finish but 17th overall and 4th in my category, not a bad return, time for a beer! #cycling #strava #beertime #mycyclingweekend #letourdattack #l4l #racing #pimperneroadrace
