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?

Winter. Despite the bad weather if you get rugged up you can get some cracking winter rides in. (Plus the roads and cafes are quieter in the Peak District).

Definitely autumn. No targets, no training, just riding. Dig out the winter jacket and head off. Oh, and cafe stops are better when the weather's not so good.

every season has its benefits, from long days in the summer, to the changing scenery in both spring and autumn. but theres something special about being out in the snow, skidding around and laughing my ass off, even if it takes twice as long (or more) to get anywhere

It has to be autumn, the wind, the clouds dancing across the sky, the rain not forgetting the weak rays of sun; hang on isn't that the summer?

Summer - dry, warm, lots of light, not too much wind. I know it goes against Rule 9, so I admit it, I'm a softy. Some Vulpine clothing might toughen me up a bit though...

Mid spring when the roads are getting better and we can finally get out of hibernation! (Well, those that don't do MTB or cross through the whole winter, that is  3 )

Definitely autumn. Just so many colours and different conditions to ride in. It never gets boring!  1

autumn - for the idea of cold clear mornings and crisp leaves... and the reality of wind and rain and slippery mashed up leaves and mud on the road.

Any seasonhas its perks, but going out to warmth and sun can be just that much inviting!  4

Summer for me. Being able to ride after a day at an office in the daylight and not worry about wrapping up is great

Autumn. Those crisp cool days, when the leaves are dry and looking wonderful.

Or just after it's been raining, and the roads are shiny and slick. And the smell, of earth and mushrooms.

Rainy Season is great as you get those knowing glances from other cyclists and you feel that you are almost in a secret club where you know its not as bad out as it looks.

Cross season. You can ride for only an hour in the crappiest weather, and no one can accude you of being soft.

Winter for the commute - gets rid of the fair weather brigade, and TT season, er.... I think that's all of them then!
