Vulpine schwag: we have a winner!

sunny, long and plenty of beer stops

Early morning ride to catch sunrise over Corfe Castle.

Long solo ride out of London into the countryside - exploring, fresh air, forgetting any stress of the week past. BBQ, beers and friends to wrap it all up afterwards.

Give me hills, hills & a few more hill!

Fast, yet effortless. Smooth, yet exciting. I don't care where, so long as I am smiling as I step off.

An ideal ride for me is one that I'm not getting soaked or battling a fierce headwind! I'll let you know when I have one of those this year.

A warm sunny day in the French countryside... & to go hard on the climbs

Just setting off on one of my local routes and then just turning off onto any new tracks I find and seeing where i end up

Rolling hills, quiet lanes, afternoon sun, good pub stop. Lovely.

One with the kids, my 2 year old daughter in the Safe-T-Seat in front of me saying "I'm on cycle ride"

Any ride in which my son and I return home and he's still wanting to sprint past the old man!

A day out back home on Mull flying round the single track roads and over the Dervaig hairpins! Definitely followed by some beer or cider with barbeque and mates. Yaldy.

Warm, light breeze, smooth tarmac, beautiful scenery and hill-induced pain to raise the appreciation levels. Not too much to ask is it?!

one with a cake shop at the end

One with beer at the end

A long swift ride - passing through many towns and different landscapes in one afternoon, preferably with the sun shining!

Sunny weather, quiet roads and some interesting scenery. A place to stop for coffee and cake would nice too.

20% uphill gradient in the blazzing heat. mmm shame I live in scotland not Italy.

Cafe shop, deli, pub, tea shop, home!

(Sun + friends - hills) x few beers after

Any as long as the sun is shining and the wind is behind me (all the way round) so most of the time I ride head down in to the wind with mudguards on !

The one from work on a Friday afternoon

uphill, ayrshire coastal road

Any ride is a good ride. The bad rides are even good rides at the end. Although there is something particularly special about crossing the finish line first.

One that sets out with low expectation but delivers so much more.

lots of hills and cake

long and leisurely

An all-day ride to Brighton and back, with a nice stop at the beach if the weather's good. 120 miles of fun and chatting with friends and admiring the view.

Any club ride where I don't end up dragging 20 guys around for 50 miles then have most of them breeze past me on the final climb.

Taking Lily to nursery in her child seat on the back, me slogging my guts out and her singing "yellow submarine" or "Lily the Pink".
