If descending down long winding European mountain passes is your thing, then the first photo of this #mycyclingweekend's Cycle Surgery-sponsored round-up would have probably gotten your vote to win this week's prize - despite some pretty serious competition!

As the weather improves we're expecting more and more of you to fire over photos of your stunning #mycyclingweekend rides. The weather was good this weekend, so you somewhat proved our expectations.

The competition is certainly hotting up, and the quality and imagination behind the photos that you guys are contributing is improving too.

The first four photos that we're about to share with you are hugely diverse and left us discussing who we thought deserved this week's prize, and why.

 

 

Rosco's shot of this stunning Mallorcan pass left us drooling. If our jealousy glands weren't being stimulated this shot would have been an absolute no brainer to win.

We're left wondering whether you looked quite as fresh when you made it back to that point after what looks like a long, hot slog up a Spanish mountain.

Bravo.

For its sheer bizarreness and imagination, Instagram user javragg's photo of his upside down Dolan won this week's top prize.

We've been staring at it for a couple of hours now and it still throws us. 

Great shot, and we hope you enjoy your prize.

 

 

Tom Jeff's photo was easily the most technical and probably the most interesting of the lot this week.

Unfortunately though, despite looking like a model for Rapha's most haunting advertising campaign yet, we couldn't award Tom the prize because he didn't include the #CycleSurgery hashtag.

Apologies Tom, but thank you for sharing the photo with us!

 

 

The fourth finalist of this #mycyclingweekend was Instagram user WendyPolkaDot and her misty shot of a calm Saturday morning.

We loved it, Wendy. Thank you.

Before we move on though, we'd like to make it clear how much we like quirky #mycyclingweekend photos.

So much so that we felt a bit bad for Gareth Wall, as his photo alongside the biggest spoon we've ever seen would have performed fantastically on any other #mycyclingweekend when the competition wasn't quite so tough.

Great shot, Gareth.

 

 

 

To give you an idea about the other photos Gareth's spoon shot was competing with, we'd like to point you in the direction of these absolutely beautiful photos that you sent in.

We think they capture the full range of cycling joy: intimate forest rides, routes over mountain passes, and familial adventures.

As the weather's improving, loads of you will be thinking about getting your best bike out of the shed, or giving the set of wheels that carried you through winter a proper clean - now that you're unlikely to get that dirty again in 2016.

Some of you will end up with, *ahem*, rear ends as sparkly clean as roleurcoaster, while others will misjudge their timing, their corners, or they'll just get unlucky, and they'll end with a rear end like Timsbury Cycle Group's Ryan Cains.

 

 

 

 

 

Here at road.cc we had a good #mycyclingweekend, especially our man Stu Kerton. Stu's using 2016 to get back into the shape of his life so that he can not only enjoy his riding a little bit more but so that he can review even more bikes for road.cc! We all know which is more important...

If you're interested in keeping up with Stu's progress, or you fancy following in his fit footsteps, check out his road.cc blog below:

 

 

 

 

 

Remember, it's never too late to get involved with the #mycyclingweekend fun. Just fire up the device of your choice, and upload a photo to Instagram or Twitter with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag attached to the caption.

Happy riding.
