We have a Vulpine Schwag Grab winner!

Someone's walking off with some top Autumn gear - is it you?...

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?

Ah .... tricky question as each season has its own good points. I do have a penchant for moonlit, still, frosty winter mornings, riding through the lanes in the chill, but perfectly warm of body with all of my layers. Winter is an even better excuse to stop at a cafe during a day ride.

winter commutes when only the hardiest cyclist are to be seen enjoying the challenge of snow, ice and the mean north wind...

Spring - it's lighter and warmer, and you get to see nature coming out of hibernation. Spring is the countryside at its most beautiful, and the best way to see it is out on your bike!

I love spring, after the dark winter, lighter evenings make for great after work riding and summer is just around the corner too!

Like poster 'colw' above, I love a hard commute (32 miles!) through the winter months, there's nothing better than setting off in the dark and being rewarded by a beautiful morning.

My favorite time of year: when on my daily commute the dark winter morning is broken by the rising sun and so announcing the beginning of Spring.

Autumn - love riding past the trees in their full autumnal colours and the smell of bonfires in the air.

Spring, the promise of a season to come, the return of good legs and many miles to ride.

Autumn.
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness...

Spring has to be the best for me. That first ride of the year where you feel a little bit of power in a sun sitting slightly higher in the sky makes the toil of the winter more worthwhile.

I like summer, particularly in Taiwan, in the evenings, along the riverside cycle paths, far from the traffic and only the hiss of tyres and the bright lights of other cyclists to accompany you across the city, across rivers, over hills and under bridges.

First day you can officially call Spring.

The anticipation of good riding weather for the whole spring & summer.

Can't be beaten.

Although summer and autumn are great for biking, warm evenings and great sunsets, nothing beats winter. Wrapped up with a billion layers on, surrounded by snow, praying over icy sections, and the amazing hot coffee stops. Perfect.

For me it's the spring; getting out onto roads that have been snow and ice-bound for weeks and often being the only one on top of the Pennines in the early dawn.
