#VulpineRides: Overall Winner Announced!

Our #VulpineRides competition set you the brief to share with us your bike rides and cycling destinations, city and country, mountaintops and coffee shops: with the chance to win weekly prizes, and become our new Vulpine brand ambassador. We’ve had an incredible response over the past 9 weeks, so thank you to everyone that entered for sharing the fantastic photos of your cycling adventures.

The time has come to announce our overall winner, and new Brand Ambassador, selected from our 9 week winners. Drumroll please……!

We’ve selected Pavel (@hey_pavel), our winner from Week 2 of the competition! Pavel shared many brilliant images over the course of the past nine weeks, from cobbled city streets to mountain switchbacks – we loved the variety, and of course his impeccable cycling style too! We also realised that many of the shots he shared were taken by Marina (@mimi_brioche) (we had been wondering how he’d managed to take such great shots of himself!) – so of course she will be our ambassador too! We will be providing them both with drops of the latest new apparel, and interviewing them in the coming weeks so you can find out more about them and their exciting life: together they make up Velotton, and can be found exploring the world on their bikes and making backpacks, accessories and apps for bike lovers as they go! We’re looking forward to following their adventures.

 

Received the Sunset hoodie from @vulpinecc which I’ve won in #vulpinerides contest – light, warm (only 16C in Ljubljana today) and with some interesting details. #cycling #fromwhereiride #ifeelljubljana #bicycle

#citieslikethese #dresden // В Дрездене мы узнали еще один возможный способ экономии на отелях (точнее мы знали о нём и до этого, но иногда забывали) – вместо того, чтобы сразу бронировать проживание на booking.com и подобных сайтах, сначала стоит поискать сайт отеля. Тоже самое и касательно airbnb.com – многие квартиры сдаются еще и на других сайтах, где вам не придётся самим платить комиссию сервису при той же цене, что и на airbnb.com // In Dresden we found a way to save money – just try to find a hotel website and book your room there instead of booking at different sites like booking.com etc Photo @mimi_brioche #adventure #cycling #fromwhereiride #visitdresden #vulpinerides A photo posted by Pavel (@hey_pavel) on Apr 25, 2016 at 1:38am PDT

Лучшее место для обеда – стоянки на перевалах или обзорных площадках. Тут вдоль дорог очень много оборудованных стоянок. А в выходной день в хорошую погоду почти все столы заняты. Можно взять с собой чай в термосе, салат, бутерброды или пиццу с собой. /// #velottonbigtrip #путешествиепоевропе #горы

Small nice city #Chemnitz in Germany // По пути из Дрездена заехали в небольшой немецкий город Хемниц, который запомнился этой красивой, но совершенно пустой площадью , цветными гигантскими трубами и большим количеством мигрантов. Кажется, что со всех ближних городов они приехали именно в Хемниц. #fromwhereiride #visitgermany #cycling #bicycle #velottonbigtrip #vulpinerides A photo posted by Pavel (@hey_pavel) on May 3, 2016 at 2:20am PDT

That’s why I enjoy cycling. A little bit snowy near #karlovyvary // Сегодня получилась довольно интересная поездка – с трудом въехал сначала в заснеженный холм (порядка 3-4 км в гору), встретил машину, которая не смогла тоже заехать в холм и спускалась назад задним ходом, но при этом люди приветливо из нее улыбались, ну и спуск с холма оказался еще медленнее, чем я в него въезжал. Да, такое тоже бывает, когда внезапно выпало столько снега. L. 50.002916, 12.681340 #cycling #fromwhereiride #roadslikethese #visitczech #karlovyvary #vulpinerides

  And of course, we must also announce our final weekly winner of the competition as Dtmco – we loved his shots taken while riding in the miserable weather we had earlier this week, and so his prize of a Waterproof Utility Jacket is very appropriate!

Thanks again to everyone who entered, and please continue to share your cycling stories on social media with us, using #VulpineRides. It’s great to see what you’re up too, as well as our gear in action!

Here’s a reminder of all the previous weeks winners:

Not half mile beyond the no camping signs is a great bivvy spot above the crashing waves. #outsideisfree #bivvy #wymtm #dropbarsoffroad #vulpinerides

Ocasionalmente, trabalho e diversão cruzam-se algures pelo caminho. Neste caso foi em Valongo. A terra do pão, da regueifa e do biscoito.  #laveloduchene #lynskey #titanium #cycling #roadcycling #vulpinerides #cyclingmemories #valongo #‎FeiraRegueifaBiscoito #collectmemoriesnotrecords #carradice
