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?

Turning 40 next week, I'd have to say cycling in autumn keeps you feeling young.

Autumn - not so hot, beautiful colours and a little bit more space on already congesting cycle lanes.

I love the autumnal colours at this time of year, but you can't beat the summer for riding. Long, warm, dry days. Sunny rides before and after work. Cultivating killer tan-lines. Riding #1 bike. Racing. Man, I miss summer already!

Summer. Spent a few days at the end of August this year in the south of France, rode through lavender fields, vineyards, valleys and up ventoux. Devine.

A warm autumn day is hard to beat though I live in Yorkshire where all seasons are possible in a day.

Spring, when you wonder if it will be too chilly without extra layers, then realise a single top and shorts are perfect.

A crisp, dry, Autumn. Nothing beats a small country road covered in red and gold fallen leaves.

At least until something under said leaves sees you stood at the side of the road with the tyre levers out....

I ride year-round, but summer has to be my favourite. Long days, no need to pack any extra layers, embarrassing tan lines, cold post-ride beer. Perfick.

I've only started road cycling this year, but I've been a keen xc rider for years. I'm an all year rounder, but I love the crisp, bright and frosty winter days. Summer is nice on the road, but that said, my hill climb intervals session earlier, turned into a 3 and half hours ride in the wind and rain in the dark. As long as the pedals are turning, I'm happy.

For me it's spring. It's got a lot - first ride warm enough to go out without bib tights, layers start peeling off, the days are getting gradually longer AND the clocks go forward. Not to hot yet, but eventually you can take some layers off and reveal that favourite jersey that's been hiding away for months!

Rather enjoyed my commutes this week in the wet as it's a great feeling when it looks foul but your kit keeps you warm, but you just can't beat long warm summer days riding in short sleeves.

Summer in the UK, just love the extra speed cutting through the air with that little bit more ease.
