#mycyclingweekend: Ride with friends

Almost everything in life is better when you share it with someone you care about, right? So, maybe it's time to peel off the lycra and head out with your partner on a leisurely ride, or perhaps it's time to put the lycra back on for the first time in a while and head out with your riding buddies.

Of course, not all of us are lucky enough to have friends who share our passion for cycling. That's not a problem, there are bound to be plenty of cycling clubs near you. Hell, if you need another reason to join a cycling club other than the camaraderie, check out our 8 reasons to join a cycling club article below.

The social side of riding isn't a monopoly held by cycling clubs. You can go out and ride on your own and then talk about it afterwards by sharing your ride with via the #mycyclingweekend hashtag on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

Alternatively, if you want to feel like part of a team without all of the riding commitments, join Team road.cc - it's really really cheap! You'll get plenty of freebies, as well as exclusive deals and opportunities to come and ride with us.

It's all about the ride though. And as long as you're having fun, we're happy.

Here's some photos of you guys riding with your friends, you know, for inspiration.

If you haven't already, give your mates a ring. Organise a ride for this #mycyclingweekend, and take some photos!

Testing out the new wheels with a ride out to Cheshire via the Peak District. Lots of climbing in the legs today. Legs definitely felt it after a high milage week. The cafe stop really was a welcome break! #happyvalentinesday #longsundayride #peakdistrict #hilltraining #shutuplegs #cannondalesynapse #newwheels #sunshine #countrylanes #countryside #roadbike #cycling #womenscycling #mycyclingweekend #fromwhereiride #coldone #wintertraining #wintermiles #outdoorsisfree #outsideisfree #thisismygym #openroad #caferide #cheshire #gettingthemilesin

The roads were a bit slippy after yesterday's snow, so I went for a #bikeride round the Duchess Drive on my #jamis #cx bike. #strava #stravacycling #stravaproveit #stravamts #stravastradebianche #fromwhereiride #wymtm #mycyclingweekend #outsideisfree #outsideiscold
