Sometimes really weird stuff happens on our weekend rides and sometimes we accidentally - or on purpose - visit some really weird places. The folks at Cycle Surgery were offering a prize for one lucky user who sent us a particularly bizarre photo.
You lot sent us plenty. We saw photos of bizarre beverage choices, fictional characters, mega mountains, and stunning socks.
But our winner, if for nothing more than the opportunity to call a #mycyclingweekend participant the 'highest cyclist in the UK', was Brad Collard.
Brad visited the fantastically named Flash, which is officially the highest village in the UK, this #mycyclingweekend.
Here's what you won, Brad:
Away from the heights of the Peak District, there were plenty more weird and wonderful goings on going on on your weekend rides.
From a chance encounter with a nationally adored fictional character, to a couple of cyclists taking a leak in the most appropriately named French town ever, we've got some great stuff to show you below.
First up is that chance encounter with every child's favourite anthropomorphic egg, Humpty Dumpty. Steff Marazzi and the Timsbury Cycle Group stumbled across the egg while one member of their group took a nap.
For our next #mycyclingweekend entry we have been left questioning the appropriateness of the user's chosen username.
@foodconfusion was clearly confused this #mycyclingweekend over what to put in their SiS water bottle. While gin might not be appropriate for long days in the saddle, we certainly think it's perfectly appropriate for any other type of day - especially one that happens to be ono a weekend.
May we advise you to rethink your name? Something like @drinkconfusion?
We also saw some cyclists having a wee - or piss if you like - in the best place in France to take a piss: Pis.
The guys taking the Pis are members of Team Coers, a self described 'offensive Dutch amateur/masters cycling team'.
More of that please fellas.
Below are a few more of our favourite shots from the weekend. If you spotted something WTF-worthy, don't hesitate to send it our way - via Twitter of Instagram with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag attached.
Great. Now do cars....
Apparently 20% of road traffic accidents, in Japan, involve a cyclist.
Those aren't kimonos. They're wearing hakama pants and keikogi tops.

Wow, 30% low stated weight?! That's a bit more than rounding error or production variability.

My instinctive reaction to this was "aren't the ramps all deployed at the push of a button now?" but I guess that's quite a metrocentric view.
Freeman on the Land vibe.
