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!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realise the Forest of Dean was inside the M25.

12 corners in just over 2km is a terrifying prospect if it rains!

Dry, sunny, 30-40 miles, cafe stop and with friends who will push me a little (not literally) Oh and no mechanicals.
After a long dreadful day at work. Sunshine helps too.
Warm Sunshine
75 miles, afternoon ride, tons of climbing, pizza and beer at the end and movie with family. nothing's better.
The lumpier the better
The ride when I remember all the pleasure and none of the pain!
A sunny ride along the North Norfolk coast with rolling roads, a permanent tail wind and a coffee stop in Blakeney.
I like rollercoasters. And log flumes.
An early start, setting off to explore new territory, getting off the beaten track, discovering nice long windy lanes through sun-drenched cornfields, before a few testing wooded climbs.... with a homemade sandwich stowed somewhere on my bike.
Escaping past the M25, exploring quiet country roads!
Two good wheels, 2 good strong legs and a glint in my eye.....and no particular destination.....
Good long ride with plenty of hills and good mates to drop!
With the crew, no matter the weather.
Fast n hard aaarrgghhh
A ride thru the ciity at night, I see the city's ripped backsides.
light misty rain in the tall forests of Washington State!
Veurne to Bruges, stop at the Bistro Niuewweg...
Through the South Downs with a cake stop half way through.
A winters ride,all wrapped up snug and warm, starting in the dark as london awakes and easing over Waterloo bridge as the sun rises
long winding country roads, little motor traffic, rolling hills, cool breeze, verdant trees...
Riding a new route on a summers day, discovering great sights along the way.
Smooth tarmac, hard tyres.
Sunshine, quiet roads, smooth tar, gentle breezes, hills and curves.
Sunny days in mid-Wales. Hills, beautiful views and nobody else.
Sun seems too much to hope for at the moment so dry and no wind (and no backpack either).
Sorry, ignore. Clicked to many times.
Sorry, ignore. Clicked to many times.
Sorry, ignore. Clicked to many times.
my favourite ride is around 50+ miles, nice weather, a few big climbs and some fast sweeping descents
Quiet roads and sunshine.
