One of Thom F's, I think.
User10571 reflecting on his breakfast.
Forgot about that one. That's a great pic.

indeed it is
it'll go really well with the simon and titus portraits.
all i need now are two big ones (did i say I still don't like November?) and I think we are there or thereabouts.
I think I'll aim to get a finished version and order one and pay for it, and have it sent to Dell so he can see it in the flesh and to get his opinion on it, and then it can be passed around on the Whitstable ride so peeps can make up their own minds.
pleez to don thinking caps and come up with two nice big ones.

Thom found and emailed. Many thanks.
the quotation 'the faster we are carried, the less time we have to spare' comes from The Magnificent Ambersons. I can't find the quotation on Youtube, but I really do commend this small portion of what is almost Orson Welles' greatest film

is a useable calendar.
a few questions: who did the january pic and who the september? i seem to have credited swarmcatcher with quite a lot of pix but am unsure if that is correct, what with all the faffing and moving from one month to another.
December is a nice pic but it should be said that it is not very December-ish. I'd like three more portraits then. what does the team think?

Tis done. Phew. It took a lot of time.

Is a link to it. You can, I hope, click the link, view what it is and if you like it you can buy one from Truprint. But I advise you not to until the one copy I have bought for myself arrives and I can actually see what it looks like. I'll bring it along to the Whitstable ride and you can see it for yourself. No doubt after the Whitstable ride the word will spread as to its goodness/badness, so I suggest you wait a little while for others to comment.
It costs £19.99 and £2 for postage which is a lot for a calendar, but then it does have some nice pictures, including Miss April (and two Mr Aprils), and no less than three Mr Decembers. I have named all the people who took the pix and I have their permission to use the shots in the calendar. Alas neither I nor The Fridays make anything out of this.
I've tried to capture some of the sheer mystery of the rides, the people, the views, the experience. I could have kept on changing pictures for ages, frankly, and there has to come a time when you stop, not least with the "10 day delivery deadline" making arrival before Whitstable a bit of a gamble because these "10 day delivery" phrases often turn into "18 day delivery sorry we don't know what happened".
Finally, many thanks to all who helped with pix, ideas, contributions. Many of our rides are in very poor light and that tends to make pictures out of focus, blurry and poorly framed. So apologies to those who sent me pix and who didn't make the final cut.
Finally finally, I'd like to thank simon for all the time and effort he puts in to creating The Fridays. This thing took me ages, and it was only a calendar. Imagine what he must have to go through...................

nice job
is the aspect ratio on November correct? I only ask because to some people aspect ratios are the stuff of conversation.
And, if there must be a bit of text on December, could it be 'six years ago I started a conversation on wheels. They're still talking.............'

Mr Dellzeqq, Sir
i have changed the quote.
the shape of the picture allowed by Truprint is not the shape of the original picture. But the original picture, although a thing of beauty and a joy forever, is a bit irrelevant at the edges, with things that are not cyclists in those areas. I know it was a nice letterbox shape and now it is the same shape as the other pix, but there we are. I don't know how to change that, nor what to put underneath it to make up for the fact that it would be a lot shorter. sorry about the aspect ratio
