We have a Vulpine Schwag Grab winner!
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…

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?

Summer in the UK, because the nights are longer and you can do longer rides. Plus, you can chuck a bottle of cold water over yourself to cool down and dry out in a few minutes; and it doesn't take as long to get all your kit on before you actually go out in the first place!
Really has to be the summer having ridden around in other seasons it's just not nice being cold and wet covered in layers.
Still Vulpine's clothes make it bearable.
Summer 35 degree heat.
Late Spring
Summer Summer Summertime...
love a bit of wool
Summer for proper all-day touring epics, short sleeves, suntans, baking heat, the lot.
Autumn, Autumn, Autumn - the colours and the light!!!
Spring: when all the thick Winter gear comes off and the light layers go back on and you actually get to feel the warmth of the Sun again.
Spring easily.
Spring easily.
Chilly autumn mornings
Believe it or not...Winter. This is the time to focus on what training needs to be done before the racing season begins.
A mild and sunny spring morning.
(the first day of the year I revert to short sleeves after a winter with the warmers)
definitely autumn - early evening especially
Autumn. Beautiful colours, fresh and fragrant air, clears my head like nothing else.
Autumn, you may be fighting the wind and rain but you've got the miles in your legs from long summer rides to help.
Early spring just after sunrise when you can ride alone with just the birdsong when most people are still in bed
Every season has it's charms, but Autumn and Winter have some extra. A smaller group of riders continue to enjoy riding outside and in bad weather. For me riding in cold weather brings a certain serenity.
AUTUMN - the smell, the colours., the light.
Autumn, when the suns out!
Winter. Have Croix, have mudguards, have 32 tyres. Will travel.
Spring, and early Spring to be precise. When the legs are woken from their winter sleep with the first long ride of the season.
Got to be summer, for the longer hours and occasional sunshine.
Spring for me - in Mallorca
Yep!!
Summer, sunshine and warmth!
Autumn! I would say spring but it's too gusty
yes please!
Indian Summer
