The Transcontinental, the Trans-Siberian Extreme, and a pretty big ride around a park in London - we meet the characters that take on some of the most gruelling challenges on 2 wheels.

Zwift gets some cool new courses and we get a sneak peak at what Trek and Orbea are planning for 2017.

We've also got recaps from the Classica San Sebastian and the RideLondon weekend.

Congratulations to Barry Weeg of the USA! You've won yourself a special yellow Team Sky KASK Protone Helmet. Don't forget to enter our brand new competition where 4 of you could win your choice of Fi'zi:k shoes and saddles: http://gcn.eu/winfizikshoessaddle
