winner header 13.8.18 by Bo AndersenMyCyclingWeekend2018 - We Have a Winner
Ah, how lovely that the usual British summer has returned for #MyCyclingWeekend2018!
It was back to spending ages working out what kit to wear for the rainy, cool but rather sweaty conditions.
Personally, I made the big mistake of deciding it was freezing, then reaching for my full winter thermals. I wasn't cold, I just got very sweaty.
It also looks like loads of you were out too. Just a little reminder that we're switching to #MyCyclingWeekend2018.
Before we get to this week's winner, let's take a look at some of the entries. Our header image this week comes from Bo Andersen. Seems it wasn't just us sheltering from the heavy rain.
Jan wanted to make climbing harder. Why not throw cobbles into the mix?
Gravel bikes are rather handy when the tarmac runs out.
Look's like Soloman's job today is cleaning his bike...
The Rhone-Alpes looks lovely.
Lee's representing with his road.cc cap!
A colourful bike on a washed-out day.
I'm just off to check my cleat bolts...
Not sure who laid this road, but there's a few in Somerset that need doing!
Quite right Dale. Rather damp.
Our winner this week is Chris who took some great shot while out on a casual 130km loop to the seaside. Not a day for ice creams though.
Remember to get your pics in using the new hashtag #MyCyclingWeekend2018!
Son of a Marathon runner, Nephew of a National 24hr Champion, the racing genetics have completely passed him by. After joining the road.cc staff in 2016 as a reviewer, Liam quickly started writing feature articles and news pieces. After a little time living in Canada, where he spent most of his time eating poutine, Liam returned with the launch of DealClincher, taking over the Editor role at the start of 2018. At the weekend, Liam can be found racing on the road both in the UK and abroad, though he prefers the muddy fields of cyclocross. To date, his biggest race win is to the front of the cafe queue.
Good article. But it should also mention the environmental cost of manufacturing and shipping these 'upgrades' half way around the world to replace...
I think that contrary to the views expressed the Gammons would be equally pissed off if the police were dishing out bikes to the local poor folk ...
Nicely done!
You first. Look at the trends from 2011 until 2019 (and ignore 2020 and 2021 for bloody obvious reasons) - deaths trend upwards, and serious...
Can you have a liquorice allsort? Wouldn't it just be a liquorice sort?
Hairdressers car posh bloke is my favourite driving criminal !...
Possibly my sarcasm was too subtle. I'm a hard no on it, too.
For the price of 1 of those chains, you can buy an ultra-sonic cleaner, quick links, plus the teflon powder, candles and paraffin to do this...

Out of curiosity - what do you have as summer mitts?
