We love socks here at road.cc.
They've managed to get a bad reputation as a cop-out gift. But we've been racking our brains trying to remember a time when we've received socks as a present and felt anything other than gratitude.
You can never have too many socks, especially when you're a cyclist. We genuinely believe that. Seriously. Check out our socky Christmas gift guide if you don't believe us.
It appears plenty of you share our sentiments when it comes to socks, because we received quite a few photos over the weekend of you lot showing your footwear off.
Here are a few of our favourite #mycyclingweekend entries, and our top sock-soaking #mycyclingweekend moment from Gavin Butler.
We appreciate Gavin's commitment to the cause, and his ability to out-cycle Mark Cavendish - if only the Cycling World Championships were an amphibious event, eh?
But, this #mycyclingweekend winner, for his ability to find a beach and make it look like July in November, as well as his stunningly yellow socks, is Christof Damian.
We should be in touch with you via Instagram Christof, so you can claim your prize.
If you've still got some footwear to show off, do it in the comments section, or fire us over a photo on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag clear for the world to see.

There are better glueless patches available, but the schwalbe ones do make good frame protectors around the exit hole for rear brake hoses
I doubt the hubs that Vel use will be rebadged Hunt but they may well be from the same OEM supplier in the Far East. Do DT Swiss allow their hubs...
I would add some system enablers to increase capacity to detect and process these offences more efficiently:...
Making "better chain line" an advantage of 1x over 2x is simplistic bollocks. You can claim that for 2x or 3x system as well. As well as the...
I agree, excess wear is due to the smaller (overall) sprockets in play, but is also due to the amount of time the chain spends in less than ideal...
2 different scenarios. ...
Not necessarily, there are many people working in the harm reduction and addiction field that are former consumers of drugs, and have convictions.
