Vulpine schwag: we have a winner!

the one home from work

Gentle rolling countryside, sunshine and a little bit of a tailwind.....there and back

Car free, pedestrian free, dog free and the only noise being bird song.

Solitary, dry, sunny with a nice big hill

One wearing my new Vupine jersey I'm about to win!

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.

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.

Somewhere new

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

When proper wide and uninterrupted cycle lanes presents itself.

one where its not bleeding raining

run for the hills

Long winter rides in the sunshine with snow on the ground - magical!

Out with the lads, pacing eachother (with the occasional cheeky break away on the climbs)

The best ride is the one home from work!

Ride from Ripoll to Girona, via Olot (in Catalonia). Favourite parts were descent from Col de Santigosa into Olot, and the ride on Carrilet from Olot to Girona where we had butterflies flying next to us on a section.

Hard to take the sights, smells and experience out of memory. Itching to visit again

One day it will be me, honest!

The one thats longer than the last!

anyplace with family will do!

One where the challenge is from the route and the company, not the wind!

They're all good

Cold winter morning with the sun shining, climbing in the Peak District with no cars in sight, fabulous views and not a care in the world.

Along the shoreline and dunes and amidst heathland on the northermost island Sylt, with a strong headwind which then will hopefully turn into tailwind on the way back (but usually doesn't). A casual 40 kms from one end to the other with a view of the wadden sea on one side and the north sea on the other.

one that doesn't end like my last one....

To spend some great time with friends on quiet road with some speed work and hills Ll in one nice hot sunny day

Any time on the bike...

My favorite ride? Hmmmm definitely the one that start with a good doppio macchiato, at home, directly followed by a smooth hilly 25km road as a warm up. Then I attack a 20km climb in my swiss backyard, the alps. Low on my bike, I speed up during the next 15km of downhill and then reattacked another climb. A shorter one this time. Once at the top, I just admire the beautiful scenery I am lucky to have: green forest, farm fields, lake, mountains and blue sky. I take a deep breath of fresh air and head down home, happy and exhausted. Just before meeting my partner, I enjoy a last stop on the lakeshore, sipping a local beer.
Yeeah that's my favorite ride, definitely.
