Vulpine schwag: we have a winner!

Tell us what your favourite kind of ride is and you could walk off with a bundle of Vulpine goodies...

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!

Saturday morning spin - out of bed at 0700, quick breakfast and up the 1760 Col de Mantet, near Vernet-les_Bains in the Eastern Pyrenees. 1300m of climbing done by 0930 - non-stop, even on the 18% sections. Not even on my racing bike- riding my touring bike - straight barred Specialized Sirrus, mudguards, carrier, etc. Stopped on the way back down in the village (@1000m) of to buy honey made locally. 500g of pure miel in my jersey pocket to quicken the descent. Bliss.

My commute is my favorite ride, because it's the one I get to take every single day.

As long as it's not too windy I'm happy.

Though a good descent always gives me a huge grin  4

Some banter, little traffic and as long as we can go. Anything else is a bonus

My perfect ride would incorporate the following:
1.Sweating buckets whilst on long steady climbs.
2.Fantastic s***-your-self, eyes watering, knuckles white descents.
3.Effortless cruising for miles along glass smooth roads in your highest gear.
4.Steady come down with laughter and chatter.

About 50-60 miles with snap halfway, maybe a flapjack and a hot chocolate, (dont like coffee).
Yeah...

Places that work are Sardinai, Dolomites, Col Madone to name a few

One like last year on the Corniche des Cevennes: smooth tarmac, hot sun, long ascent during which I overtake a Frenchman, stunning views from the top, exhilarating descent followed by yummy food and cold beer. Mmmmmm!
