mycyclingweekend 26 collage#mycyclingweekend - Bank holiday bonanza + prizes
Bank holidays: they tend to sneak up on us and fly by before we've had the chance to blink, eh? We hope you returned to the real world comfortably this morning, with three days of riding fresh in the memory and in the legs.
Most of us here at road.cc were feeling the after effects of a long stint in Germany at Eurobike - which you can read a little bit about here and elsewhere on the site in the days to come.
But, we've returned now, to fair British climes, and we've got a wonderful batch of photos that you've sent in to share.
Those of you who took part will no doubt remember that this week we were offering a couple of prizes to reward our favourite #mycyclingweekend photos. Three of you will be receiving a pair of road.cc socks, while another will win a BTwin 300 Multi Tool courtesy of Decathlon.
So, without any further ado, here are this week's winners: Twitter users @jeremystrutt and @ian_digman as well as Instagram users Charlie Hoffman and Lee Walton. Chapeau!
This week's winner of the BTwin 300 Multi Tool is Lee Walton, whose photo of a group ride turned group walk to avoid some puncture hazards had us laughing.
We all about inclusivity here at road.cc. We've all ridden our bikes for decades upon decades, and our children have been (and will be) be riding from a very young age. So, when we see you lot out riding with your kids, we can't help but smile.
So, for making us smile, have a pair of road.cc socks Ian and Jeremy.

Elsewhere, we decided that Charlie Hoffman - a serial #mycyclingweekend participant - needed a new addition to her sock wardrobe. While we admire the indignation on show through her current choice of footwear, we're a little unsure about the colour.
Our love for #mycyclingweekends isn't restricted to three or four photos a week. All of you make this weekly tradition as fantastic as it is. From Egypt to Iceland, and from Wales to the UAE, we love to see you guys getting involved wherever you are, and it's always nice to see the road.cc kit getting in a snap or two.
Here are are some more of the photos that had us smiling, laughing, and jealously rueing the British climate this long weekend:

Straight into the sun is perhaps an exaggeration, but at that time it would be about ESE, and there are bits of the road which head roughly SSE, so...

Been available for quite a while, full GRX mechanical 12 speed. Probably around the same time as 105 mechanical 12 speed if I were to guess.

Nope, it's to keep your straps down and quieter. Plus most sunglasses are polycarbonate and aren't going to shatter like glass anyway
And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.
