#mycyclingweekend - Snow way, snow already?

Blimey. That was a bit colder than expected, eh?

We asked you on Friday who you were riding with this #mycyclingweekend. We expected photos of cycling groups, family, and friends, but we weren't really expecting snow.

That's alright though. If you've been paying attention to the road.cc DealCatcher over the last few weeks, you should have been more than ready for the cold weather - and if the photos are anything to go by, you most certainly were.

We received loads of photos of happy riders in the biting cold, the surprisingly deep snow, the mud, and some stunning autumnal landscapes.

We'll kick things off with a few of our favourites of you guys out enjoying your rides and the weather before we collectively dive headfirst into a bank of snow.

Snow, loads of it

So, there you all are enjoying yourselves.

The next batch is somewhat more intense. We're not saying you weren't enjoying yourselves, because how could you not in environments that look as beautiful as these, but it did look very, very cold.

Don't think the novelty of snow will wear of soon for this South African! First snow on my Welsh hometown's hills, winter is here. @gopro Short #vertspedition to Machen mast and the first snow. @rideshimano #outsideisfree #WYMTM #Wales #RFWYA #cycling #strava #specialized #mtb #snow #uk #igerscycling #nofilter #mycyclingweekend #gopro #nature #bicycling #ukpotd #letsgo #selfie

Surrounded by white hill tops, ascending towards Bylchau the hail and snow still sits at the roadsides. Deciding that the pull of cake and coffee trumps the planned route over the moor. #vcmelyd #cycling #Sundayride #stravaphoto #cyclingclub #northwales #clubride #winterbike #bylchau #denbighshire #snow #mycyclingweekend

No Snow

But it wasn't snowing everywhere. There were huge swathes of the country that missed out on a coating of the cold stuff, and you guys took advantage of that by taking some stunning photos of beautiful autumnal trails, fresh clear blue skies, stunning sunsets, and mud. Loads of mud.

 

Autumn trails.. #strava #stravacycling #mycyclingweekend #scottbikes #autumnleaves #fullsuspension #mountainbike #mamilsports

No snow in Copenhagen, fantastic bike culture instead

We're not saying it's better than ours, but Copenhagen is renowned for it its cycling culture in a way that London or any other British city as still years away from.

Instagram user olemelk, who is from Norway, is waxing lyrical here about Copenhagen. We imagine we would be too if we were there.

 

The cycling culture in Copenhagen is fantastic! Good bikeability allows everybody to enjoy cycling in the city rather than just a few daredevils. Notice the old man on the bench who brought his crutch with him on his evening ride. I could never imagine this happening in my home country Norway. #copenhagen #cycling #cyclingpics #urbancycling #sky #skyporn #skyline #mycyclingweekend #cph #sykkel #instacycling #københavn
