#mycyclingweekend - Sunday, muddy Sunday

After a particularly taxing day of spending on Friday you all blew out the cobwebs with some fantastic winter cycling.

This week there was no snow to dampen or chill your rides, but in the place of white you appear to have gotten brown.

The mud was everywhere by the looks of it, but it didn't seem to ruin any of your rides. In fact, some of you appear to have relished it - especially Instagram user nevereverpressrewind.

Of course, when the weather's like this it leaves the job of cleaning up once you get home exhausted.

That particular chore can be a bit of a pain in the arse, unless you're sneaky enough to get your bike to the shower without any of your housemates realising - like Charli Hoffman. Nicely done.

Alternatively, you could just do what Instagram user v4honda did, and stick to the 'sweatfest' turbo trainer.

 

Shhhh don't tell my housemates #prolyf

The mud wasns't for everyone. Some of you sent us photos of your #BlackFriday purchases instead. Whether you got your goodies from one of our fantastic Black Friday deal round-ups, or you found them all on your own, we asked you to share them with us.

Oliver Chapman, for example, picked up a bargain Giro Atmos helmet which he very kindly modeled for us on Twitter - have you thought of a change in career Oliver? With a face like that, we reckon you could go far.

Roleurcoaster fired over a shot of an SiS GO gel sachet. A new flavour he said. A Black Friday bargain? We ask.

If cycling was only about riding conditions and buying new kit, we bet there'd be a whole lot fewer of us out there on the road every #mycyclingweekend.

Fortunately there's so much more to it than that. There's the ride itself, there's the comapny, and then there's the beauty of our surroundings and the way our bodies feel when we're flying down the sides of mountains, and zipping along country lanes.

We'll leave you with a few photos that made us feel good this weekend. If you've got any more to send to us. Do it!

Simply fire a photo over to us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag in the caption!

Thanks for the #cobblewobble this morning @_JustinGage_ https://t.co/FsFMAwRTZl #TrowVegasCC #MyCyclingWeekend

The wild mendips with 40-50mph+ sidewinds was, erm, 'interesting' to say the least. #mycyclingweekend #hellofthesouthwest
