This week's hot topic is the strangest places to cycle
The catamaran of Team Emirates New Zealand have an Olympic Cyclist, Simon van Velthooven, on their boat, as they have a four man "cycling" crew on board to help "power" the boat in the America's Cup.

Sir Chris Hoy is hoping to cycle to the South Pole, but is looking for someone to ride with him though. Fancy it?

The strangest place Matt Stephens has cycled is his garage, in 1998. He decided to replicate Kuala Lumpur, so he decided to fill his garage with wet towels on hot sunny days, with the tumble drier on! True Story!

We've got our usual sections including cycling shorts. Steve Cummings, the new British Road and TT champ asked white or black shorts on twitter. What do you think?

Mathieu van der Poel continues to show his versatility by finishing 4th in the Cross Country Marathon World Champs. Very impressive.

The 2017 RAAM has finished for many riders and the winner for the fourth time was Christoph Strasser, he won by 35hours!! 3000miles in 8days 10hrs.
The female winner was Sarah Cooper who finished in 11days 19hrs.

The GCN presenters have also made it on to cupcakes!
