The UK and Europe are home to some of the world’s most spectacular cycling routes, through magnificent mountainous regions and places steeped in history to more leisurely routes meandering through peaceful villages and towns. Whether it’s a few days riding along the Parenzena, a beautiful cycle route that runs between Trieste in Italy and Poreč in Croatia, pootling along the Monsal Trail in Derbyshire or having an epic adventure exploring foothills of the Albanian Alps, we would like to hear about your favourite winter cycle routes.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
