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?

I'd say spring. Not as hot and sweaty as the height of summer but you're over the worst that winter has thrown at you and its just gonna get better...until you realise you still live in Britain  10

I like autumn, but I often find myself thinking "I wish I didn't have to carry back up clothes for when I invariably get rained on".

But then there is winter, but then I also find myself thinking "I wish I didn't have to carry back up clothes for when I invariably get rained on".

I also enjoy riding in spring, seeing things come back to life but then there is always that nagging thought of "I wish I didn't have to carry back up clothes for when I invariably get rained on".

And then there is summer, longer days, shorter nights, yet still that irritating thought of "I wish I didn't have to carry back up clothes for when I invariably get rained on".

Really, in Manchester we don't actually have seasons, just varying temperatures of rain.

Late spring, when the sun is strong enough to start working on those sharp tan lines  16

Stupid question. Obviously summer. Getting wet on a bike is not fun and having to clean the bike once finished is a chore.

Summer as you dont have to wear as much clothing. Winter as its more interesting with the variable weather.

Early in the morning autumn. Cold fresh air with fog has something magical.

I like riding in the winter on cold crisp morings, waiting for the temperature to creep abover freezing.

Summer evenings, when it's hot but not burning.

bright crisp autumn and winters days are my favourite, when I can see my breath and riding warms me from the inside out. plus being outside on a cold sunny day shakes off the winter blues

Hot, hot summer is the best. Pouring with sweat up a long Continental climb on smooooth tarmac with the "chi chi chi" of the cicadas to accompany you is the best feeling in the world.

My favourite time to ride is early summer mornings.
However I also enjoy the challenge of riding the the changeable Autumn and winter months.

Autumn, baby, autumn. Starting to get colder, fresh, windy days. What's not to like?

Definitely Spring. Crisp mornings with the thrill still there that you might encounter snow!
