Hey all,
Time to get some calendar discussion going! I am about a month behind as I am as busy as ever so I need your help in getting nominations and the word out to those who want to nominate themselves for the 12th edition of the calendar.
Deadlines for everything will need to be tighter this year as I still want to get out in mid November to avoid holiday delays.
Appreciate all the support over the years!

PHOTO REMINDER: NOW is a good time to get some nice photos of your bike if you would like to be nominated before riding season is over and the snow falls. If no pictures or contact has been made after a week the next member with the most votes is in so make sure to follow all calendar threads.
PHOTO TAKING NOTES: Most smartphone cameras now take high resolution photos if that is all you have.
1.) Make sure your phone is turned sideways (landscape) when taking photos
2.) Always leave enough background space on all sides. This makes it better when cropping and preparing the layout of the main images. I can be zoom in and crop but can't add background and your bike will get cut off on the page
3.) Please do not use filters as this will degrade the image in all likelihood.
4.) Send the raw camera files (full size image) from phone or camera, nothing from the internet
