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?

That one week where it's still warm but there's a cool edge to the air, the promise of autumn.

spring - warmer weather and signalling the end of the grim winter weather. Green foliage beginning to appear and knowing summer isnt far away and its time to get the miles in!

With me it has to be spring, the worst of the cold wet days are gone and the days are pulling out while warming up. But they are not so hot you need to plan routes round bottle filling stops or carry spares in your jersey pockets. The spring classics kick of and inspire me to go further and ride for longer helping me shed a little more weight gain fitness and rather than the grimmis of winter riding the smile steadily spreads across my face. The views turn from frozen brown to green with new life forming across the country side. I know that its not long until the Giro which means La Tour is on its way.
Yes spring really is the best time to ride.

Winter mornings, about 4 degrees above freezing. Enough to melt the ice on the roads, but the fields still covered in snow.

You can't beat a crisp Spring morning that is dry, bright and only just warm enough for jersey & shorts.

Summer: warm evening outings, washed down with a post-ride pint in the beer garden...

Winter - roads/trails are quieter and usually get to enjoy an 'epic' of some description

Winter - no bell required due to sound of frying bacon from the studded tyres

Autumn for me. Crispy mornings with a nice big sunrise to make you remember why you love cycling so much.

Autumn is the best. Cycling to work for a night shift with the sun setting across Morecambe bay. Just amazing on the few clear days with the colours of the leaves, sea and hills.

It's got to be winter; a couple of inches of snow and studded tyres

The perfect autumn morning... Fresh glow of the sun bringing alive the colours of the leaves, with not a cloud in the sky and the most delightfully refreshing breeze. EPIC!!!

Spring. After the months of darkness and cold, you finally start wearing lighter clothing. And I love the day a take the fixed lights off the bike  8

Full-on winter: no more guesswork about how many layers to wear, just pile them all on. And not so many people on my commute.

Spring for me, crisp mornings best before things warm up too much. Can't ride in the evening, too full.  1
