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?

Blue sky summer days, the hotter the better. Followed closely by blue sky winter days, the colder the better.

I'm an Autumn fan, cool enough to go harder for longer, the added challenge of wet roots and leaves off road and changing grip levels on road. Its also still just about warm enough to clean the cack off the bike (and me) after a ride out as well!

I think all cyclists love summer and the feel of short sleeves and no rain cape but I must say those bright but cold winter days really blow the cobwebs away for me.

Autunm for me. Fitness still in the bank. Crisp morning air and watery sunshine warming up nicely. It's the challenge of second guessing the weather and what to wear. A bit of cross and mtb to spice things up too.

Late spring for me, when the miles really ramp up and summer just around the corner, magic!

It's got to be Autumn. Just as the leave are turning, not falling though. And emptier roads. Oh, that'll be this weekend  1

Autumn, as car drivers stay at home later. The morning rides becoming quieter and blissfully peaceful.

impossible answer ... i wouldn't be able to choose one in place of another. Everyday on the bike whatever the weather is one of lives true wonders... but... at a push, cycling in the summer on the hottest day of the year on a massive climb and the sweat is dripping off you and the best thing is ..... when you get home the TdeF is in the mountains and its all kicking off to enjoy with a beer and good friend  1

Winter for crisp mornings, building a base
Spring working on speed for race season
Summer long days in the saddle
Autumn little break then start all over again.

There isn't a wrong weather for riding just the wrong clothes

It's got to be spring for me, after being cooped up on the turbo in the garage most of the winter.  103

Winter
Even though it means extra maintenance, it brings out the defiance in me , especially when the rain is lashing in my face ...come on then ! Is that all you've got ?

Winter is the best time to ride. I prefer it because i don't sweat as much. I also like the challenge of riding in the winter, because you have to deal with fog and rain.

Autumn has to be mine. The change in colours and light, also the chance of getting a cool crisp morning with a blue sky is unbeatable

Long hours of daylight, fair weather, warm winds, high pressure systems enforce predictable weather for days if not weeks. Tyres need pumping up less. Skyrides a plenty, The Tour on TV and Dunwich Dynamo. Summer for me.
