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…

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?

Of course no connection between earning 189k for being a gold bullion ambassador and advocating the gold standard !

Not just the lumens, but also the legislation. Bike lights that aren't dipped are a menace....

Lots of blinding lights out there. If we lived in Germany, they would be banned - not for being too bright, but not being dipped. I've had a 1,200...

Spring
Morning starts with a bit of a bite
Warms up as you go on
Everything is fresh and new
Summer...nothing beats the late evening rides when the sun's still shining
It has to be summer - more time to ride, dry roads to decend, sun on your back, all good.
Autumn
late summer
Autumn, when you get those days that take you back to late summer.
ABW!!!!
Anything But Winter!
Canada is cold....
The first autumn ride on a bright cold morning when you have to switch to warmer gear - long leg/arm covering. Love it.
The first light spring ride.
Autumn, without a doubt!
I love a sunny Autumn day, seeing the changing colours in the trees.
Love all the seasons for different reasons, but if pushed probably winter. Wrapped up as toasty as possible, snow on the ground and out on the bike... Can't beat it
Spring - lighter evenings on their way!
Spring
It has to be Autumn - the mornings get colder and the warmth of the after ride recovery gets more inviting. ;-);-)
I like to ride in the Autumn, I can then raid mother nature's larder on the way to and home from work: apples, brambles, mushrooms, plums, all sorts of things. Oh and I like baking too.
I suppose the answer they're after is autumn, but I love summer when you can ride your bike in short sleeve jersy and shorts without all the extra layers.
autumn for the brisk blustery days
Autumn for sure
The cake stop with hot coffee just tastes so much better !!
Autumn has to be the best, a crisp sunny and dry day.
Atumn because the temperature is just perfect you can stop mid ride and you will not sweat or freeze or both. When you couple that with the bright yellows and oranges to keep you visually stimulated while cycling what more can a cyclist want?
spring, trees and hedgerows breaking into leaf and blossom everywhere, the start of a new year and the start of new cycling year.
At the moment, Summer- possibly Autumn if I'm lucky.
Summer... being able to leave on the commute to work with just shorts and short sleeved top is a winner
The dry season.
I like all the seasons for different reasons
Spring. The classics to watch and so full of hope and promise for the rest of us; it is the time of year when you can start to take off the leg warmers and even risk the summer bike.
Spring, after a winter of braving the weather and with all the best parts of the year to come.

Winter (but the dry crisp and sunny version)
