MyCyclingWeekend - We Have a Winner

Luck hasn't been on my side recently. There have been more crashes and punctures over this week's #MyCyclingWeekend.

But thankfully, that bad luck doesn't seem to be affecting you guys.

We've had some great entries this week so before we get to the winner, let's go through some of them!

Busy drowning our sorrows having done some crashing and a little puncturing.

 

Sometimes a ride doesn’t go as planned. Got to take the positives - rerouting to get back quickly uncovered some wonderful hills in Epping for a future ride #tubeless #goneridingcc #mycyclingweekend #pop #goneriding #letsride #epping

This one is destined for the bin.

 

Saturday solo over to the Pudding Room in Carsington. Tailwind out and a hard slog in the headwind back home. Some more miles in the bag and a very nice apple cake stop half way . . #weekendsareforcycling #mycyclingweekend #wymtm #cycling #pinarello #hills #training #fitness #exercise #gettingitdone #girlswhoride #instacycling #bike #outsideisfree #womenscycling #sport #fitfam #roadslikethese #peakdistrict #caferide #shutuplegs #cyclingclub #insearchofup

Rachael got the cruel reminder that a tailwind out means a headwind home.

 

Grey. Very grey. And windy. Still fairly warm though so pace was still in the high 27s #essex #allez #specialized #cycling #shimano #iamspecialized #outsideisfree #oakley #mycyclingweekend #strava #paulsmithcycling #castelli #roadcc #GoPro #shotbySTiG

My turbulent relationship with tubeless continues; resulting in ‘Laps Then Naps’ turning into ‘Multiple Café Stops Then Naps.’ — #lapsthennaps #icc #islingtoncc #lmnh #lookmumnohands #rapha #raphaspitalfields #london #londoncycling #fromwhereiride #regentsparkcyclists #regentspark #londoncyclist #wymtm #mycyclingweekend #lapsnotlanes #MyBikePeebles aka #MyBikePBubs, #MyBikePB & #MyBikePrincessBubblegum #cervélo #cervélor2

Tubeless systems can be a massive pain if they're not working properly.
