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?

Early morning at the end of summer. First bit of mist in the valleys. Trees just starting to change colour.

Spring. Evenings getting lighter and warmer, the promise of summer around the corner and all lovely smells of fresh,spring growth.

Sunny summer days are great, obviously, but something's about a crisp frosty morning when everything's got a white touch to it...lovely

Much as I love sunny Summer rides, I'd have to say Spring is my favourite time of year on the bike.

The season of hope, of lightweight tyres, of no mudguards, of redundant lights and of dry lube. Spring!

Autumn is by far the best. never too hot rarely too cold, best fitness levels of the year and the chance to find blackberrys, mushrooms, chestnuts…

Spring, the cool mornings with a hint of dew and freshness in the air. Followed by the knowledge that a whole summer of riding is about to come into existence.

A pleasant early summer day. Warm, but with the thought of many more good days to come.

All of them, as long as there is good company and a decent back wind!

This is Scotland, so the only difference in the seasons really is if it's a bit warmer and drier or a bit cooler and wetter.  1

Late spring/early summer is my favourite season as the flowers and trees are all in bloom, making a long ride all the more enjoyable.

Definitely spring when you can shed the winter layers and get the good bike out.

It has to be Spring, days getting longer, peel off the winter clothing, feel the sun again, commute in the daylight for the first time in what seems like a lifetime!

Winter- the only season when I have the time to put the miles in and watch the weight fall off.

Mid Autumn - cruncy leaves under the tyres, crisp morning air and steaming hot coffee post ride - perfection!

Spring!

Fresh sunny mornings, not too hot, not too cold, and generally drier than Autumn!

I like cool clear spring mornings. Warm sun but with the air temps around 14c. Spot on.

All seasons. Hot, rain, wind and cold. Any weather is perfect weather for biking in the city and on the backroads, perfect weather for Vulpine!
