This week's RideCatcher round-up features five rides which you'll have no problems rolling up and riding this weekend.
Where possible, we suggest that you offer these fantastic event organisers a friendly phonecall and warning that you'll be attending. Contact details for all of the events can be found by following the links embedded in their titles below.
Unfortunately, if you live anywhere north of Birmingham, we haven't got much to offer you this week. However, if you want to feel like you're part of something bigger, you can join in with our #mycyclingweekend and send us photos of what you've decided to do instead.

56km or 160km - £30 - £40 on the day

Only problem is, you'll have to dig out your mountain bike.
July 19
39km, 63km or 84km - £25 (£28 on the day)
This is a women's only event over in Wales. Part of a wider cycling festival, and with three different routes to choose from, there'll be something for everyone over in Llandrindod Wells this weekend.

The Tour of the Cotswolds is now in its fourth year, and it's been building steadily on its successes. Two routes will give you plenty of option, depending how fresh you're feeling.

Beta fuel Energy Chews are also £2.50 for 45g of carbs in a packet and are a more direct competitor than the beta fuel gels mentioned above....

Im not at all happy with these. I have them in 34. The issue is that the rubber is sufficiently soft, tacky (and presumably therefore grippy) that...

I really wish the powers that be would station a few security guards in the crowd at big events like the world championships and tell them to grab...
