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!

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.

When I'm on my bike, or a hired bike;
Cycling with my mates, or with my wife, or by myself; at home or on holiday;
In the sun, or rain, or even the wind;
Just no cold AND wet please!!

A nice long training ride on a sunny day with a stiff tail wind to blow me back home in time to put my feet up in front of the box for the latest Tour De france stage.  3

The kind where my son (aged 5) announces that he's going to win the Tour de France on the ride home from school. Then asks for a banana, because "good cyclers don't eat chocolate"!

A ride with friends, plenty of hills with a coffee stop, and a beer stop afterwards

Country lanes, a few stiff hills and some fast bits with a tailwind on the way back, sunny but not too hot, smooth tarmac and all the cars have decided to stay at home.

Mostly rolling hills, couple short sharp climbs, a group of friends and a good pub at the end

Challenging (hilly) one on previously unknown roads, preferably with the company of a good mate.

I would like to spend a couple of months on the coastal roads of Ireland with my guitar and harmonica, and a tent on a tourer, maybe a Dawes Ultra Galaxy, that would be nice.  4  4  4

actually, once in a while its nice to ride with mates (preferably mixed) with no one pushing the pace and demanding steep hills and taking time to enjoy the scenery.

My favourite ride can be reduce to a physical place, or a specific type of road. It is rides where I breath, am in the moment and just enjoy being alive and on the bike.

This can be short rides, long rides, rides where I get dropped, rides when I am feeling strong, rides on my hybrid, rides on my mountain bike, rides on my roadbike, solo rides, rides with friends, sportives, races.

You know that Gillet would be just perfect for me; when I'm out on a ride over the Brecon-Beacons, it can get very chilly while riding on the top; and sometimes a bit damp, even on the nicest of days.

Thanks
