Readers’ feature: Your road cycling highlight of 2026Photo: Wolfgang Papp
What was your personal highlight on a road bike this season? A ride in the rain, a steep hill, a fast cycle race, or the best cycling holiday you’ve had in years? We’re looking for your photo, accompanied by a short caption, for our 2026 readers’ competition.

The road cycling season is still in full swing, but it’s time to take stock: what have you been up to? A heroic ride in the rain, a sunrise during an early morning cycle, a successful bikepacking holiday with friends, a cycle marathon through beautiful countryside, or a personal triumph in a cycle race?

Would you like to share your happy moment with the TOUR community? Then send us your short story – five or six sentences – along with one or two photos in their original resolution. In our end-of-year issue 12a, we want not only to look back on the year in professional cycling, but also to celebrate TOUR readers’ road cycling year through our readers’ feature.
