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; nothing better than gearing up all warm and smashing the miles. The air is crisp and your nostrils freeze with every breath in. You make the most of every minute of daylight, and when the sun goes down you're left in the cold, dark air with nothing to focus on but the illuminated spot of road from your lights. It makes you crave for lighter and warmer days. And when they finally come round, it's those deep winter, sub zero days that retain the contrast and make every ride even more special.

The "long warm summer days" described above. Spring afternoons and fall mornings. Forget winter.

Spring - the thought of going from full thermals to knee & arm warmers just means summer is that little closer and winter that bit further away!

Late spring or late summer/early autumn...
Weather's not too hot, rain's not too cold and there's no ice or snow.

The current season, each one has good points and bad but as long as I'm on my bike I'm happy. Sadly I missed riding from May until late September due to being knocked off by a car so I missed the best summer for years! On the bright side it might snow!

Early autumn: just the right temperature to not work up a sweat, and less likely to need the rain gear.

Winter in the snow as there is nothing better than passing the cars struggling along as I sail past them commuting on my bike

Easy. Midsummer. Time to get home, put the kids to bed and still have hours of daylight for road or trail

Autumn. Dry, cool, still enough hours of sunshine and the occasional shower to liven up a ride. Cycling is quite literally no sweat. A gentlemanly game  26

I cycle to work at 5.30am, it's always quiet on the roads no matter the season. The best time of year is in March when it starts getting light in the mornings. Everyone gets on their bike from March, it's the best time of year

Gotta be springtime. The first day that I go out on the bike and can comfortably wear just a t-shirt.
