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?

Summer is fine,
Winter is good,
Spring is never rude,
But overall Autumn is sublime
What with the clean air
And warm drink waiting at home

I like the cold sunny winter mornings the most but there aren't as many as i would like in the winter so I would go for spring, not too hot not too cold and not much rain

This time last year, I got a single speed to save money on the commute. I was lucky enough to make a friend who showed me that riding through London is not that dangerous. In a month time I was introduced to Strava, sportives, legs shaving, riding in all conditions and all possible distances with a smile on my face and a great sense of accomplishment, got a race bike and then another race bike and then yet another one, reading all the sport science I could read, joined a sport and exercise MSc, being one of the fastest amateurs out there just because I love every meter of pedalling . I wish I could win this bundle for my friend Ryan, a man so humble and so helpful whom I never get the chance to thank enough. Ryan, sorry I decided to ride on tubulars and thank you for coming and picking me up whenever I get a flat because I am too snob to carry a tyre. My favourite season is obviously the start of autumn.

My favourite season is the spring in the uk. After the winter the plants are coming back to life and there is a whole summer and fall to look forward to.

The best time of the year is definately summer.
Feel the hot air, the sweat on your skin and the need of water. Ride the alps and each day is brighter than the day before. That's cycling.

Cold, crisp late spring morning; starting cold knowing that as soon as the sun comes up it'll be hot, hot, hot.

A boring answer, but true none the less: summer.
That Harrington jacket could make the autumn commute a lot more enjoyable though  10

Late spring when I have more free time to get out and ride.

summer for me... up dead early, breakfast, head out before 6am... hours in the saddle with little traffic (especially on Sundays) and home again with plenty of time to still spend a full day being a family man. Cycling while the world wakes up makes a good ride a great ride.

Spring - clear the rust from the legs. I have to admit that I am a fair weather cyclist.

Autumn because it means I can have my CX tyres on my bike and when I get bored can take that short-cut across the field. Plus riding in proper weather can be fun
