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?

Spring. Winters over, longer days, and months of riding to look forward to.

It might sound boring, but definitely summer. Less rain and longer ride filled days. Gotta keep those tan-lines sharp!  16

WINTER!
Looking forward to

the excitement of getting up when its still dark,
an excuse to put on funky lobster mitts,
hearing neighbours furiously scraping their icy car windscreens,
watching the sunrise over the frosty fields as I glide along,

thinking this might be the best bit of the day.

Early Spring, early morning, just after sunrise a clear blue sky, fresh breeze blowing, mist laying low over the Wallops with the peaceful sound of carbon on tarmac  105 ... and me telling my legs to shut up.  4

Winter- for the frosty days, the trails run fast and dry between days of mud.

Early Summer/late spring means longer days and rides.

I'm a big fan of the spring to summer transition, just as it's starting to warm up and the dry out a bit. Lovely.

I hope all year round qualifies as an answer. The only difference the seasons make is how many jumpers I wear.

Autumn, as I can enjoy riding in cool but sunny skies and through falling leaves. Oh and also get blown across the road in crosswinds and then soaked to the skin.

Every season's cycling season,
As far as I'm concerned,
Each season comes with highs and lows,
And lessons I have learned,
In spring there's light and air and shoots,
And very often rain,
But to be at one with nature,
I'd happy cycle down the lane,
The summer brings the long hot days,
And a plethora of juice,
I love this muggy season,
Of this one I can effuse,
The autumn colours draw me,
The confetti leaf strewn floor,
A dappled sunlight canopy,
And winter at the door,
Those icing sugar mornings,
All sparkling white with frost,
Though I avoid the heavy snow,
At every flippin' cost,
There's a reason for each season,
If you're a cyclist fair and square,
You'll be out in every weather,
Every season you'll be there!

Spring - the days are not too cold and not too hot, but the canal towpaths are not crowded for my commute.

commuting on a cold clear winter's day - snow on the hills, ice on the canal and arriving at your desk with rosy cheeks and feeling virtuous...
