I agree Ray. My trouble is I am getting old and if I don't buy the calendar while I am thinking about it, I may forget. :(

New rule. For every question asked about where or when a calendar can be acquired, it takes another day to post the link. :mrgreen: Except for Ray. He's cool.

If you are in the Top 12 and have a specific month you would like your photo, please tell me. I'll accommodate the best I can.

You guys do know buying a 2021 calendar will not make 2020 get over any faster.

funny - I used the same concept everytime I lead a PT run 'back in the day'. I was never a sprinter, but have finished a few marathons... No worse mind F on a run than not knowing how far you're going...

For mine, since it was taken in Marietta, Ohio - May would be great, since that's when we visit Marietta for the Ramble.

Looks like I managed to not get bumped off the list. Mine was taken at the Red Lodge Rendezvous, so unless someone really wants June, it's appropriate to put it there. Otherwise, I don't care which month, doesn't matter to me.

Tim, the captions on those Viper_Dad one's are reversed. The one that's in the calendar, Viper_Dad_1 is at Canaan Valley (the one with the rocks in the background). Just swap the captions and they are right. Hopefully there's time to do that.

Much appreciate your effort!

If it works out, I would prefer my pic to NOT be in the summer. I am not in the office as much and there are no kids or teachers here then. When the kids and staff are here, that is when my mind needs a distraction. LOL

Cav47 camped at Palouse Falls State Park about 5 miles south from where I shot my photo. He drove south meet me. This means he didn't ride the bit of highway in my photo, arguably the best bit of Hwy 261. So if possible place my photo in a month with the highest Josh distraction quotient. 😏

I'm honored to make the cut. I'll happily and humbly accept whatever month is available.

If I'm being totally honest, the photo that made the cut is the one I hoped would not. I liked the other one better. But I liked that one more for the story it told, which apparently still needs to be told. Therefore, One Picture Ride Report forthcoming....

Same here, though there's no better story with the other one. I worked harder at the other shot to make sure all the people milling around in the background were obscured by the rocks. My only regret was that I didn't move a smidge to the left to obscure the cars behind the bike. But, you never know what everyone else is going to like, and so it goes.

Alright guys, I'm finally done (I hope). Lulu changed their site around and it caused some headaches and extra work for me. The plus side is that there are 4 options for the dates display., but I had to make 4 different products so make sure you click on the right link for the style you want. They have also added the ability for a back page cover. I took advantage of this by displaying all 12 images with their submitted captions.

I hope you guys are happy with it. The cost is up a bit to cover additional hosting costs of the site. It also covers a free calendar to the top 3 winners. Selfishly, I am also including myself and Wayne in the list of free calendars for our efforts each year. All other funds will be directed towards the site.

If you made the top 3, I'll be in touch to see where to send your calendar.

The links are available here:
viewtopic.php?f=66&t=5620

Currently there is a promo code FESTIVE10 | Ends December 11th for 10% off.

Well I already screwed up. Josh pointed out that I used the wrong caption for his photo. I have fixed it, however, I don't know if the calendars that have already been ordered will contain the fix

If you've ordered already, you may want to cancel or contact Lulu to make sure you get the most recent version. My apologies to Josh and everyone that has ordered already.

No apology needed. It is a built in design flaw. LOL

The amount of work you put into this is huge. We all understand.
