Okay sure, we know the Tour is over...and by that we mean both the Tour de France AND the Tour of California. The problem is that we have some good quantities of schwag sitting around that we never got around to handing out. So now is the time and we're happy to announce that the official Road Bike Action Season-o-Schwag Giveaway has begun.

For contest # 1, we were curious if, like us, you may have enjoyed some of the creative ads shown during NBC Sports coverage of the Tour de France. We know we had our favorites and have compiled them here for you to look at vote on.

All you need to do is take a look and let us know which one you like best and why. If there was another advert that you liked better, you can tell us that. One week from today we will go over all the entries and pick a random winner who will receive the official Tour de France backpack that was handed out to all the journos in Liege, Belgium for the start of the Tour. Inside you'll find every piece of schwag we picked up along the way plus a Road Bike Action water bottle for good measure.
