TOUR is looking for its readers’ happy moments. What was your personal highlight on your road bike this season? A wet ride in the rain, a steep hill, a fast cycle race or the best cycling holiday you’ve had in years? For our 2026 readers’ competition, we’re looking for your photo accompanied by a short caption.

The road cycling season is still in full swing, but it’s time for a preliminary review: 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 moment of joy 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 to look back not only on the year in professional cycling, but also on the road cycling year of our TOUR readers through our readers’ feature.
