Vulpine cotton giletVulpine schwag: we have a winner!
We asked to to come on over and tell us what your favourite kind of ride is. And you did, in your hundreds! Obviously the carrot of a bag of Vulpine goodies was on hand to get your creative juices throwing. It's a carrot that can only be eaten by one lucky rabbit though. And by "carrot", "eaten" and "rabbit" we mean "prize", "won" and "reader". I think we're all glad that rather tortured metaphor is over.
Anyway, on to the prize giving. We fired up the random-o-tron and picked one lucky winner for the gilet, jersey and t-shirt. And that lucky winner is DonnyCampo! Their favourite kind of a ride? "Cornish hills, quiet roads, warm sun, with a mid-ride saffron cake and a cappucino." Sounds splendid. And next time they're perusing the cake list for saffrony sustenance, they'll be doing it in some nice new threads. Hurrah.
These are fun, these Vulpine giveaways. For that reason we'll be doing another one soon. Stay tuned!
--------------------------------------------------------
We promised you another Vulpine schwag and here it is! This time there's lots more top quality clothing goodies up for grabs. Our winner will be walking away wearing a Vulpine Cotton Visibility Gilet AND a Vulpine Merino Jersey AND a Vulpine Merino T-Shirt. Not bad, eh?
We're fans of Vulpine's range of stylish, performance oriented clothing round here: it's technical enough to meet the demands of almost any form of cycling, yet casual enough to work off the bike in equally demanding social environments. Even better when it's free...
Just like last time it's a comment-to-enter affair, and this time the question is...
What is your favourite kind of ride?
Answers on a comment below! We'll pick a winner at random next Wednesday. Usual schwag grab rules apply. Good luck!

when my 25 is as clean as a whistle.
Any! So long as I'm out there
Cool but dry, with friends and ending at a pub!
A little bit of sunshine, smooth roads and new bike - lets see what it can do!
A short one with a BBQ and a keg of cheddar valley at the end
One that gets me away from all the stressful parts of life, makes my legs ache just a little bit, gets the blood pumping and the face smiling
One in nice scenery on a dry, sunny, still day, without any maniac motorists. A pint at the end would be nice.
Dry and sunny ride wearing Vulpine schwag from those nice people at Roadcc

country roads, no traffic, with a little sunshine and some good company
Riding with good friends on routes that make your legs hurt, with a sprint finish that makes me feel like a pro for a few seconds
Bikes, followed by beers and a BBQ, the three B's are the answer to (most) of the world's problems.
two or three mates. decent tea stop, followed by through and off for the last 20k
Anything, Dry and Uphill
Something with a few hills, smooth roads and no cars.
Lactic Acid and Wild Garlic
My most recent favorite bike ride was the London to Brighton Heart foundation ride. Not exactly a fast ride, but it was my first 50 Miler!
Riding faster than busses and cars int the city...
Lots and lots of hills, where there're no hills, there'd better be plenty of headwind. And cold. Yea, really really cold, too.
Dry, Mechanical and puncture free, good coffee and tasty cake. Satisfaction over distance/hill/pace/skillz.
A country ride after a shower when the heady scents of the summer hedgerows fill your senses and your heart.
The wetter the better
Dry, sunny and plenty of rolling countryside
Any ride where i get back in one piece.
