We have a Vulpine Schwag Grab winner!

Someone's walking off with some top Autumn gear - is it you?...

My word people like the idea of free Vulpine Schwag, over 1200 of you commented in to tell us your favourite cycling season, all bases were covered but early indications are that summer was the winner. And the winner of the Vulpine Harrington Rain Jacket, Cotton Rain Trousers, Long Sleeve Merino Alpine, and Short Sleeve Polo? Well that's…

jimbocrimbo

Who despite what his name might suggest likes cycling in the early autumn best.

Congrats to the winner, who will be getting his fancy clobber soon (well before Chrimbo) and commiserations to the 1,276 of you who lost out. Fret not though we'll have another chance to win some top quality cycling schwag coming your way… Soon.

In the meantime you can console yourself by popping over to  Vulpine to think about what might have been season?

It's got to be winter; a couple of inches of snow and studded tyres

The perfect autumn morning... Fresh glow of the sun bringing alive the colours of the leaves, with not a cloud in the sky and the most delightfully refreshing breeze. EPIC!!!

Spring. After the months of darkness and cold, you finally start wearing lighter clothing. And I love the day a take the fixed lights off the bike  8

Full-on winter: no more guesswork about how many layers to wear, just pile them all on. And not so many people on my commute.

Spring for me, crisp mornings best before things warm up too much. Can't ride in the evening, too full.  1

The start of spring. So much to enjoy about the slightly warmer weather, and noticing the things on a bike you'd never spot in a car or bus. Awesome.

Late winter / early spring. Whilst it is still cold, but when you can ride without fear of rain.

Winter - Sunday morning. Leave at sunrise, frost on trees and roads deserted. Foggy breath on hills, hot coffee and bacon roll stop. Back for shower and Sunday lunch. Perfect.

Winter
Wrapped up with not a square inch of skin showing. Cold, crisp, clear mornings, rime on the grass beside the road and the low winter sun at your back. The shared sense of achievement with your clubmates of having braved the freezing weather. Knowing that while you may not have covered the most miles that morning, the miles you've done have been for the love of the ride, not of the temperature.

Early morning at the end of summer. First bit of mist in the valleys. Trees just starting to change colour.

Sunny summer days are great, obviously, but something's about a crisp frosty morning when everything's got a white touch to it...lovely

Much as I love sunny Summer rides, I'd have to say Spring is my favourite time of year on the bike.

The season of hope, of lightweight tyres, of no mudguards, of redundant lights and of dry lube. Spring!

Autumn is by far the best. never too hot rarely too cold, best fitness levels of the year and the chance to find blackberrys, mushrooms, chestnuts…

Spring, the cool mornings with a hint of dew and freshness in the air. Followed by the knowledge that a whole summer of riding is about to come into existence.
