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?

Any day of the year except today - too much wind! I love it still with drizzle; very quiet!

It has to be winter for me! crisp mornings with the roads to your self. Layering up and keeping warm but working hard is great is what it's all about

Spring - you get to look forward to months of fine cycling weather. I'm an eternal optimist.

Autumn, sharp frosty mornings giving way to bright sunny days with the backdrop of ever changing colours.

Autumn, season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and crisp, bright days for long rides.

Cold clear days in spring. Frost bites your lungs and you can see for miles from the hills. Makes you feel alive again after winter.

Spring cool enough to work hard and not end up dripping wet with perspiration (sweat actually), fat and slow up hills but I get there eventually!!

Winter - when the 30 mph tailwinds artificially boost all my Strava times  3

Has to be spring when the temperature rises and you start to be on your lighter gear - liberating.

Summer. Long evenings means rides after work. Warm and dry for short sleeves and a sun-tan. Thats when the mileage goes up.

Winter can still be fun, wrapped up warm, as long as there is not too much ice around. Don't forget to warm your shoes and over-shoes on the radiator before you go this keeps your feet warmer for longer than you might think!

Early spring, the sun starts to shine a bit longer, shorts & short sleeves come back out and the winter hibernators haven't made it out onto the roads/trails yet.

My favorite season is Spring, with the warm sun and the occasional winds and rain, mmmm, sooo romantic over a nice hilly landscape ... sort of a renaissance painting, I guess  1

Summer - early morning, birds singing, dry and quiet country lanes. Magic.

Spring; the first warm rides of the year, the clocks going forward and having light into the evenings again! All giving the promise of fantastic riding ahead. Summer really is the best for riding , but also comes with the sadness of many missed riding opportunities in great weather ;-(

Each day I'm alive I'm thankful. I can ride my bike, and I realise how lucky I am.
