EDIT: In the Coupon Code section at check-out use code NOVCALENDARS12 and you should get a 25% reduction. May not work for every location. Also, note, Europeans will have VAT added to price. Boo.

A few quick points:

1. I am making no money from this. The price is just what is charged by the printing company.
2. I am not (even remotely) a professional photographer. All the photos are taken using a portable digital camera. But the quality of the photos has turned out well. This is just for fun.
3. While there are cyclists (sometimes me) in a few photos, I have tried to pick photos that highlight the beauty of the climbs.
4. I have chosen a site that is inexpensive and has global delivery options (last year’s company has closed). Orders are placed directly with them.
