#mycyclingweekend: Summer sun in April?

Well, that was rather glorious wasn't it? Not only were we blessed with scorching summertime temperatures, but we also had the spectacular springtime countryside scenery all around us too. Bliss.

This weekend's #mycyclingweekend competition winner, lhtuc on Instagram, caught that summery springness in one great photo. Lambs and blazing sunshine. What more could you ask for?

 

Caught in the act. A shameless selfie with the wee lambs. @chrisdbstewart #landscape#womencycling#stravacycling#outsideisfree#fromwhereiride#mykinesis#selfie#scotland#cycling#wymtm#mycyclingweekend#kask#sportful#lambs#RCC

Well, if we're asking for anything more on a summery day, chances are it'll be a treat in the image of stefmarazzi's Mr Whippy below:

 

Double scooples for the second TCG ride today up to the White Horse, Westbury. "Make me feel like I'm six again!" I told the creepy ice cream van man. #westburywhitehorse #mycyclingweekend #cyclesurgery #cycling #timsbury #timsburycyclegroup #westbury

While many of you would side with Stef's sweet choice, aparently a whole load of you over on the road.cc forum have been advising people to try black pudding.

While the blood-based savoury snack is no ice cream, @Al__S on Twitter says he liked it. Though his face says otherwise...

The @roadcc forum had a recommendation of black pudding a ride snack. Superb idea. 8/10 would munch again #mycyclingweekend pic.twitter.com/2HVCYnM7Ge

Of course, the weekend was more than lambs and roadside treats.

The scenery. Oh my goodness, the scenery.

Our favourite shot of the places you lot headed out to ride this week was Gareth Enticott's lake shot in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Breathtaking.

Coming in at a close second for scenery was zer0sandones's shot of a beautifully undulating road up in Snowdonia. We were incredibly jealous when we saw it.

 

One hell of a road ... with one of my favourite descents. #cyclingphotos #cycling #snowdonia #northwales #wales #denbighmoors #pentrefoelas #headwind #roadcycling #mycyclingweekend #stravaphoto #roadie #cyclelife #cyclingpics #roadcc
