The 2013 Bike Trail and Events Calendar is now available for FREE from about-bicycles.com. This is the 3rd edition of the about-bicycles.com calendar and is available in PDF and Excel formats for easy viewing, downloading and printing.
This years calender includes Scenic Bike Trail Photos, from bike trails in the Chicagoland area, US Holidays, Cycling Event Photos, from Bike The Drive and the Tour of Elk Grove and Cycling Event Dates.
The format is designed to fit One Month per Page on Regular 8.5x11 Inch Paper when printed.
The PDF version of the 2013 Bike Trail and Events Calendar (small size) is easy to print, view and/or download. You can print one page/month at a time (on standard 8.5x11 inch paper) or you can print the entire year and bind the months together with whatever stationary products work best for you.
The PDF version will calculate the initial display size based on your previous settings and your browser size. To view the entire Calendar and the Photos easily you may want to change the display size (at the top) to 50%.
The EXCEL version of the 2013 Bike Trail and Events Calendar can be modified/customized. You can add/change events, change the photos, etc., but this version will be a little more difficult to work with if you are not familiar with MS Excel.
To download these calendars, click on the links, select > File > Save As and save the file to your PC.
The PDF versions of the calendar will be the easiest to download/view and print. The full size PDF version will take a little longer to load or download but will be a higher quality than the small size PDF file.
The Excel version of the calendar file is in and .xls Excel Format (with no macros) in order to be compatible with older and newer versions of Excel. There is one Excel tab per month. (btw: I am a professional programmer so this is a quality program).
See our Cycling Events Page for a listing of the latest Cycling Events in the Chicagoland area (including some Wisconsin cycling events) and links to the websites that sponsor the events.
Note: If you have cycling events that you would like added to this calendar or to our Cycling Events Page, please send them to me at:
Advanced VBA Calendar Program
For those of you who are proficient with Excel and would like very flexible Excel based calendar with VBA code that can be used to generate a calendar (with holidays and your own personal events), I have made the Free Generic calendar generator program available from last years (2011) Bike Calendar page.
The Free Generic Calendar Generator Program is only available from the 2011 Bike Trail and Events Calendar page. If you have questions or concerns about the VBA code in this version, please feel free to contact me (via the "Contact" link below).
