Some disasters this #mycyclingweekend, some great shots

We don't like to see disastrous #mycyclingweekends, we like sunny rides and happy cyclists. But this week, us and Cycle Surgery want to brighten up the weeks of some of our less fortunate readers.

This weekend's winner is one of those cyclists who had a bit of a bad time and needs some cheering up.

Instagram user fen_cycle_life took a tumble this weekend and said that not only does he need Cycle Surgery to help him out, he might also need real surgery too.

We hope this week's prize will make you feel a little better!

 

So #mycyclingweekend may not have been so good - broken collarbone - helmet cracked in 2 places - looks like I might need #cyclesurgey to help me out! What a bad start to the season - looks like a few weeks on the turbo for me..... #cycling #cycleinjury

Fen_cycle_life wasn't the only #mycyclingweekender to come off this weekend. 

Fellow Instagram user teamsteamracing had a close encounter with the tarmac.

Here are his "scars of battle."

 

Scars of Battle - tried some drifting in this weekends crit. Didn't like it much. Video up on our YouTube #YouTube #cycling #gravelrash #bikes #crit #critrace #trekbikes #outsideisfree #saltayre #britishcycling #mycyclingweekend #stravaproveit

Timsbury Cycle Group and #mycyclingweekend regular caught something pretty distrubing this #mycyclingweekend.

While not disastrous by any means, it is something we're not sure we'd like to see again.

 

The Timsbury Cycle Group "expert in marine biology", Professor Phillip Burton, showed us his impression of a bivalve mollusc, more commonly know as a "clam", while we were at the Chew Valley Lake coffee stop, Salt & Malt. I know the subject of this weekends @road.cc photo competition was "when bike rides go wrong". So I'm submitting this, as we think Phil is definitely wrong- in the head. Cheers. #mycyclingweekend #cyclesurgery #timsburycyclegroup #timsbury #radstock #chewvalleylake #clam

Speaking of things we're not sure we'd like to see again, v4honda's breakfast is struggling in the aesthetics department.

Finally, we're thankful that not too many of you came to the same fate as sirlongbow.

Remember, it's never too late to get involved in the #mycyclingweekend fun. Just fire a photo at Instagram or Twitter, with the #mycyclingweekend and #CycleSurgery hashtags attached.

Have a good rest-of-week!
