We have a Vulpine Schwag Grab winner!
My word people like the idea of free Vulpine Schwag, over 1200 of you commented in to tell us your favourite cycling season, all bases were covered but early indications are that summer was the winner. And the winner of the Vulpine Harrington Rain Jacket, Cotton Rain Trousers, Long Sleeve Merino Alpine, and Short Sleeve Polo? Well that's…
jimbocrimbo
Who despite what his name might suggest likes cycling in the early autumn best.
Congrats to the winner, who will be getting his fancy clobber soon (well before Chrimbo) and commiserations to the 1,276 of you who lost out. Fret not though we'll have another chance to win some top quality cycling schwag coming your way… Soon.
In the meantime you can console yourself by popping over to Vulpine to think about what might have been season?
====================================================================
schwag grab rules apply.

No brainer; Summer!
Got to be spring!
Got to be late spring early summer as the days get longer and longer and every week you can go just a bit
further before it gets dark.
Summer!
Winter!
I love some good ol' autumn leaves on the floor while I'm riding
Early spring when its not too warm
Spring for me! The joy of getting outside, crisp air, wonderful light, good company; it's why I cycle and makes me forever young
The sun is out
Hedgerows bejewelled with frost
A precious winter day
Hardened cyclist on a hardened path
Wouldn't have it any other way

Spring, start buring the winter fat off
Fav season has to be early spring as you know that the days are only going to get longer and warmer from there on in
Winter, quieter on my commute!
dry autumn and winter days, it's too hot in the summer!
Can't beat a cold, crisp frosty morning in winter with blue skies and frost on the ground.
Summer all the way, for having to only take minimal kit out with me!
Winter. Nothing better than filling your lungs with crisp, fresh, morning air.
Remember rules #5 and #11.
Winter, because that's when I get to wear the lovely Vulpine gear that you're going to give me!
I love Summer mornings .... early. Cycling round the lanes, sometimes lucky enough to have a Buzzard fly alongside or over me
autumn with sunshine and a touch of mist
Definitely late spring. Not too cold not too hot. Usually rain ing though
Spring. Cool fresh morning air, maybe some new shoots showing through... It's warming up, you've already scored points for cycling through winter and summer is on the horizon...
Autumn! The chilly, misty mornings make a cup of coffee twice as good when I get in to work.
Classics season, from Omloop to Liege...
Any time of the year, that first mile or two when all you can think is "this is great, why didn't I get on my bike an hour ago".
Late spring for vivid colours in the landscape and plenty of light.
I'll cycle anytime in almost any weather (have avoided snow/ice so far) but do get a perverse enjoyment of being out in very windy/stormy weather.
spring
looove the summer: got a uv allergy, so have to cover head to toe, but hey-ho, still love it!!
Spring for the relatively low heat! And it feels great to get on a bike after wintertime.
Its got to be late autumn with cold, crisp, clear sunny mornings and no one about.
