This week's RideCatcher round-up features five rides which you'll have no problems rolling up and riding this weekend.
Where possible, we suggest that you offer these fantastic event organisers a friendly phonecall and warning that you'll be attending. Contact details for all of the events can be found by following the links embedded in their titles below.
Unfortunately, if you live anywhere north of Birmingham, we haven't got much to offer you this week. However, if you want to feel like you're part of something bigger, you can join in with our #mycyclingweekend and send us photos of what you've decided to do instead.

We don't normally do mountain bikes here on road.cc. But this ride is not only for a fantastic cause, it also looks bloody hard, and it's across some pretty beautiful countryside.
Only problem is, you'll have to dig out your mountain bike.

39km, 63km or 84km - £25 (£28 on the day)
