Re: The Official 2022 Calendar Contest
In my opinion, the quality of the photos this year is superior to previous years. There are easily 24 photos worthy of being in the calendar.
Tim and Wayne are thinking along the same lines I've been thinking. Trying to get great photos of people actually riding the bike. That's going to be my challenge for 2022. Viper Dad and I did some testing and there's a few photos that were okay, but 2022 is going to push us to get those shots mastered!

Seriously, I just wanted to make sure folks votes got counted correctly and we got a good fair vote in. Hopefully your out of the country trip is for fun and not work and you enjoy yourself.

If Ray and Patti's picture gets in (duh), it should be for the month of September in honor of the Rueben Run.

Re: The Official 2022 Calendar Contest
Auburn, I respect your sentiment. Another way to look at it is that this coming January is the soonest they can be on the calendar to salute them and that snowy white whale- I mean Goldwing - could look fitting on a January month of a calendar.
In any event the Calendar folks have some great work to display, thanks to their efforts and everybody elses'.

I'm of the opinion that we should just accept Ray and Patti on the White Whale for September 2022 "by Acclimation".

Agreed, although the voting looks like they will be the #1, which is a fitting tribute.

Re: The Official 2022 Calendar Contest
The calendar contest started in 2016 (2017 calendar). We hadn't seen a most of the places on it. Took our first big trip in 2017 and two more in 2018 and 2021. Now when we look at the calendars we see places that we HAVE been.

Re: The Official 2022 Calendar Contest
I won't make it in the calendar this year but man, what a great calendar it's going to be. Imagine a calendar when the guy who owns the site doesn't get in, and the guy that creates the calendar doesn't make the cut either. So many great photos and so many great photos that didn't make the cut.
The game was certainly stepped up this year. Can't wait for next year.

Re: The Official 2022 Calendar Contest
You would think that those attributes would be worth something wouldn't you? Here I thought I had some decent entries this year.
Thanks to everyone who participated and voted this year. I know the voting page is buggy and caused some issues with the forum. Thanks for the patience with that. We'll be looking into fixing that hopefully before next year's contest.
