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!

Up the mountains in Chile during summer when skiing centers are closed and roads pretty much deserted.
hard and fast with short punchy climbs (not the long drags where i tend to get dropped)
Somewhere new, somewhere dry, and too many hills.
A long one!
For me it has to be in a solo around sunny dartmoor
The next one!
A cake and coffee ride with my Twitter friends. Especially when it includes going down some big hills on the edge of the Downs. Can't beat the atmosphere we have or the laughs!
A ride thru the ciity at night, I see the city's ripped backsides.
light misty rain in the tall forests of Washington State!
Veurne to Bruges, stop at the Bistro Niuewweg...
Through the South Downs with a cake stop half way through.
A winters ride,all wrapped up snug and warm, starting in the dark as london awakes and easing over Waterloo bridge as the sun rises
long winding country roads, little motor traffic, rolling hills, cool breeze, verdant trees...
Riding a new route on a summers day, discovering great sights along the way.
Smooth tarmac, hard tyres.
Sunshine, quiet roads, smooth tar, gentle breezes, hills and curves.
Sunny days in mid-Wales. Hills, beautiful views and nobody else.
Sun seems too much to hope for at the moment so dry and no wind (and no backpack either).
my favourite ride is around 50+ miles, nice weather, a few big climbs and some fast sweeping descents
Quiet roads and sunshine.
Any ride currently, after getting a massive consussion and not being able to remember anything until i wake in the ambulance.
Early start on a summers morning, chilly to begin with but the prospect of lots of sun. Out through Stockport into the Peak District around Castleton, through to Bakewell and stop in Buxton for some breakfast. Then back to the hills and home in time for lunch...bliss!
Early morning, still dark commute on old railway trails. Just rabbits, foxes, owls and me. Spooky but brilliant.
Commute home on a friday night, doesn't matter about the weather. I'm on a bike on my way home, no work tomorrow and endless possibilities for bikes, beer and laughter.
Any ride is a good ride!
No wife, no kids...perfect, especially good if you chuck in a cheeky pint of cider
cycling snowdonia
backwards uphill into a headwind.
A day in the New Forest...trails, back roads and a huge choice of PUBS!
when all you can hear is the gentle noise of your tyres on the road
good weather, good views
