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!

Good views, good company, and good craic.
An early morning ride with friends, where the wind is light, the sun isn't too hot and the traffic is light.
Anything dry and sunny!
Any kind of ride! But my all time favourite is a loop from Bristol to Weston Super Mare and back.
When I didn't feel like going but did anyway and come home feeling great and glad I did.
My Goldilocks ride: not too hilly, not too flat, not too cold, not too hot...not windy at all!
A loop with a tail wind all the way.
Sunny with a nice breeze out in the sticks.
long and flat!
A sunny and wind-less day cycling around Bowland.
Where the uphills feel like downhills!
lovely yes please
50 mile ride on a cold dry, sunny morning with a bunch of friends, brisk pace, nice hills, fast clear downhills. Not to forget the high beach cake stop!! (Epping forest).
up hill and down dale
up hill and down dale
A nice day out with friends on smooth roads with rolling hills that we can power up and down at a good tempoand a couple of coffee stops on the way.
Anything with some hills.
One day this will win me something !!!!!
Sunday morning 7:00am before breakfast.
I always think the next ride is going to be the best.
Anywhere long, flat & sunny
one where our club trainer doesn't shout at me so much !!
but i am slow . . . .
and quiet roads , a few hills and a good group of mates
ride with 2 friend banter, hills, sunshine and bacon sarnies!!
A nice sunny ride in the Peak District. Cant beat it...
My favourite is a freezing cold day in winter but one where the sun is out, the roads are dry and the wind is always behind you. Nothing beats getting that cold air in the lungs.
Over the hills and far away. The Surrey Hills that is and away from the daily grind.
The ride home from work or failing that, the first time I rode an indoor velodrome, particularly the bit where we practiced attacking from the top of the banking into the straight!
very wet and sloppy
My ultimate ride is very simple, Sun, friends, hills and great views, whilst raising funds for a worth cause.
Places that work are Sardinai, Dolomites, Col Madone to name a few
All day in the sunshine, quiet roads, friends, beautiful scenery, birdsong.
