I’m a fan of Castelli because you guys make great products and that you sponser Garmin Sharp team which I also support!
Castelli jerseys have always been my favorites, I’ve recently discovered how much I like their bib shorts and bib knickers, they keep my butt fresh long after other shorts would leave me sore. Jered has been a favorite since I discovered his blog several years ago, can’t think of a better combination.
I love Jared Gruber’s photography, he really brings a new element to cycling images.
I’ll always love Castelli for the quality but also for the memory of somebody once telling me “you’re wearing those crazy lobster shorts!”
Gotta love the east coast of Canada
I really could use one to inspire my work space, could not think of a better images and products.
Castelli makes the only jersey that fits my petite body like a glove–nothing too loose, nothing too tight. Just perfect!! and I like to look both cool and cute when I ride.
I am a fan of Castillei for their attention to detail and craftsmanship. Great cycling technical clothing. Looking forward to seeing all the great cycling photos in the calendar.
I would like a calendar because I’m awesome
I want to get my hands on a calendar to get me fired up to go riding every time I look at it! Not that I need the motivation.
Looking at your instagram pics is not enough; I need a calendar too to remind me why I ride Castelli gear. Fear the scorpion!
I’m a researcher who looks at urban bicycle planning. However, I often find myself drooling over Jered and Ashley’s pictures mid-day longing to not worry about the political process and institutional frameworks and to get out and ride! Having a calendar in my office would certainly remind me of why I love biking in all environments.
Scorpion the sign of the best in the cycling business. Everyday this year I should see the Scorpion :)
Last June my husband Zach and I got married and took a honeymoon to Northern Italy, near Monte Grappa. We went for a ride each morning (always in our Castelli kits) and each afternoon my husband loaded his ride data to Strava. It was there that we discovered Jered Gruber. Everyday the results were the same – Zach was 2nd, 3rd or 4th up the climbs, tailing Jered Gruber! At the time, we hadn’t heard of him, but we now see Jered’s photos and are reminded of our honeymoon and inspired to get out and ride. The calendar will bring with it memories of our honeymoon and daily reminders to train up. One day soon we will return to the Veneto and, when we do, watch out KOM!!
Lifelong cyclist, Want to inspire my kids to be cyclist through my actions and photos of cycling. My Castelli gear is used until its shreaded
Castelli all year long, 12 months of the year, 4 seasons. From the cold northern Canadian winters to the sweaty hot summers, nothing else gets me through my rides better than Castelli!
i need the inspiration to complete my work and get on my bike so i can enjoy my castelli gear. i need inspiration to hit the shift key, well at least some sleep will help.
Castelli gear, thats it. Good motivation, good results. Castelli on the wall. :)
Castelli’s designs are the pinnacle of cycling clothes design; Italian style at its best. And Castelli quality and comfort is unmatched. Jared’s pictures catch all that and at the same time the soul of cycling; fantastic pictures. Castelli and Jared – a perfect pairing that would look cool on any wall…
castelli….my reliable companion in any weather situation
Will be nice on the wall of my training room ;-)))
I recognize that Jered Gruber is rapidly becoming the preiminent cycling photographer of our generation. So to have this calendar would be like having an original Beattles vinyl album from the early 60′s.
Because cycling is my life!
I’m just a guy that loves me some Castelli.
I need a nice calendar to keep track of all the days I take off work for biking!
I love my Castelli jersey and haven’t yet got a 2013 calendar – make my year please?! :)
I need this calendar so I can stare at in my
windowless office here in freezing cold NJ!
It’s either stare a plain white walls or plain
white walls with a Castelli calendar on it! I
choose the latter! Thanks guys!!
After receiving my Castelli custom team gear I started following the company more closely and now hardly ride in anything that isn’t Castelli. Castelli is a reason Garmin-Sharp is my favorite professional cycling team. Everyday I live and breathe this exhilarating sport and without Castelli I would not be where I am today.
A Castelli calendar would be just the job to keep track of all of this years cycling events..
Do I really need to say more than this? http://www.castellicafe.co.uk/blog/2013/02/castelli-ciao-scorpion-song/
Singing in my Castelli gear about Castelli :)
It will inspire me to get up off the couch and lose the 20-30 extra pounds I am lugging around. It will also inspire me to get out and explore my own local area and country and maybe some others along the way.
I really need this calendar because I cannot ride all these beautiful tracks in a year so I have to see them all through the year
I want this calendar as a motivation for the race year 2013. I guess there are a lot of very nice pictures also I need a calendar for my race overview:)
I would love to get this calendar simply because I love cycling and love looking at great cycling photography…
Castelli rocks, Jered Gruber is an outstanding photographer. And I need a replacement for my pug calendar.
Castelli jerseys and bibs are my absolute go-to for any ride. But it doesn’t stop there, the gloves, booties, arm and leg warmers are second to none. This calendar would adorn my office and all my office mates know who the best cycling apparel maker in the business is.
As a Canadian, we are really proud of Ryder Hesjedal and his fantastic win on the Giro d’Italia. So that’s when I first heard of Castelli, as the clothing provider for team Garmin Sharp. Then at the end of the summer, i’ve got enough money to get my own Garmin/Castelli bib and jersey, and that was also the first time that i’ve got a premium bib, and wow, it is just incredible, the bib is so much comfortable!! So now i’m looking forward for each ride that I wear my Castelli clothing, cause I know i can focus on always going faster, and nothing else! :)
Chicago winters… sometimes I need just a little more inspiration to get out there than the Espresso jacket and Sorpasso tights provide…your calendar should do the trick!
I have the same first name as Jered Gruber. I need a calendar to put all of my race dates on! What do I wear when I race? Castelli of course!
I really need that calendar! I was so busy training that I forgot to buy one before they sold out at my LBS.
I simply need one because I will be able to have it on the wall in our office so everyone could admire my dedication and find out my strongest passion. And I will cross out days spend on my bike, hope every month will be full of them.
My Castelli clothing has been round the whole of Scotland…and stood up too all weathers too!! Still the coolest looking gear around.
Jared Gruber’s photographs are amazing and Castelli makes some of the best gear there is!
Since I feel that I’m an unofficial Castelli sales representative (and cold weather riding advertisement, head to toe) for my area, I feel like I’m due for a small commission for services rendered!
I love wearing Castelli kits on all my rides they are by far the most comfortable brand I’ve ever worn and out perform all other brands on long rides. I would love to get a calendar, and would use it to record all my rides throughout the year.
I read Alex M’s comment as well, wow that’s a great story she definitely deserves a calendar in my opinion.
I need the calendar because it’s February, and I need extra motivation to get on the Trainer!
It will also go really well next to the new Cervelo I just bought. Hmm, do I hang the calendar next to the office bike storage, or the home bike storage?
I want one because I don’t even know what day it is :)
I bought a sanremo speedsuit last year and love it have since replaced all my gear with the scorpion so I would love a calendar to keep me motivated.
I need one to help my motivation since we don’t have a lot of pristene countryside here in Michigan like other parts of the country or the world. But it won’t stop me from getting out every day possible and riding in my Castelli gear!
The calendar will help remind me why I love cycling so much especially here in Tucson during the Summer when it is over 100 degrees! Plus, it will match all the Castelli gear I’m sporting – even at work…
The Castelli calendar would hang in a place of honor where my autographed Lance Armstrong jersey used to hang….and complement my full array of Castelli jerseys, bibs, socks, base layers, warmers and beanies…
because on my bike (Cervelo S 2) I am Castelli from neck to toes ……….. if i can add part of my wall for one year to that it would be wonderfull
I would love to wake up and be inspired every day to get out and explore the outdoors on my two wheels.
I think one of those would adorn my wall beautifully and we seem to share a love of artistic photography too. So much respect for Jereds work and I’m happy your brand is both supporting him and getting that support back.
You should give me a calendar so that I can put it up over my desk, and while I’m doing my work I can get motivated to get out and ride!
I would add this calendar to my other Castelli products to further convince my friends and fellow riders to buy and enjoy your excellent cycling gear.
I think I deserve a calendar cause 95% of my cycling attire is castelli. Which mean 95% of the time I’m riding my taint is being comforted by castelli. I trust you guys with my taint, now I need you to trust in me.
I want it because on my wall there is one free space for it :)
Castelli is my gear of choice, for fit & performance. I support Team Garmin Sharp, & I LOVE the different perspective that Jered brings to the sport.
I advertise exclusively for you guys, & I haven’t gotten around to getting a 2013 calendar yet. Castelli is all I put next to my skin!
Because I’ll have a beautiful photo to look at every day
I want this calendar so I can stoke my desire and motivation to ride while I am stuck in the office.
It will be a great motivational tool. Get up, look at the date see the fantastic picture and think “I’ll ride there one day” in my castelli’s of course!
My husband and I love cycling and Castelli’s products. We would love the calendar in our home to not only inspire us to ride, but also to get our 3 kids into the sport as well. Plus Jered Gruber’s photos are beautiful!
Because they’re Casteller!
I would love a wild Castelli calendar because Castelli keeps me warm riding out here in the wilds of Montana.
Castelli is King!
I think I deserve one as I need a calendar to brighten my office but I’ve been resisting buying one and instead relaying on my phone to save money for my wedding.
I need some motivational material for my work cube!
For some awesome, stunning daily inspiration with winter approaching…And cos Castelli rocks. Best products out there. Please!!
I would like a calendar to help me get through the winter training season. Ugh. Need some nice photography to look at while I’m on the rollers.
I would like a calendar because i have many castelli clothes and i love the castelli pictures and Garmin sharp is my favorite cycling tean.
Because I never know what day it actually is, haha!!
My office walls are the color of a band-aid, and I have no outside windows. A calendar boasting cycling images and beautiful scenery would remind me to cut out of work and get some miles in!
Because you guys make rad cycling clothing and looking at that calendar while in the office would motivate me to get out on the road just a little more.
I’m rewarding myself for winter training in the garage with some new scorpions next spring! MOTIVATION!!!!
I need that calendar! I wear your gear 6 days a week and I actually did not update last years calendar yet so right now in my office I am looking at a pic of an anteater on my 4 year old son’s calendar and believe it or not it is not it’s not ride inspiring. Haha Love your gear!
since i bought my first cervélo i start to used castelli cervelo test team because it was matching but after those years i keep using your product just because is top of the line my wife and daughter as well so if you give us a calender you will make 3 people happy.
Been 2 years getting back from a broken hip, Space for a calendar in front of the turbo, castelli xxxl kit ready for action, I’m back on the road in March and the calendar will keep me going. Love Castelli!
My hubby wants one! =)
Love the Castelli photography – pure class. And my Castelli bibs & jerseys are the BEST.
Love me some Castelli.
As a photographer I love the photography and clothing.
I only wear Castelli. It’s the best, because it’s Italian, like me! I need a cycling calendar to use at work. The pics in it will help keep me sane in my cubicle. Grazie!
Simply, just great clothing.
Castelli is simply the state of the art if your heart beats on two wheels. Sweat & tears when you climb the higher mountains. Smile and happiness while you’re on the grey streets. A big heart on two infinite wheels.
Awesome cycle products, that are quality. Awesome photography for the calendar
Awesome calendar!
Castelli makes me feel like a natural born cyclist!
Castelli isn’t clothing…it’s sports!
Would love to get this calendar simply because I love cycling and only own Castelli cycling clothing, because the design and fit is the best there is. Looking forwad to receive my 3 race outfits from Summer 2013 that I orderd back in October. Hihi. Stefan
you can never go wrong with Castelli gears! just love them!
I need a Castelli calendar because without it how will I be reminded every day, even when it’s raining and cold, what a beautiful, magnificent sport cycling is, how it can inspire you and take you places you’d otherwise never see.
I would love one of these calendars because as i sit at my desk in an office with no windows, staring at a pc…i can instead stare at what i could be doing instead!! And would love to do instead, be out on the tarmac with the wind blowing through my hair riding my bike!! Jered Gruber images and Castelli cyclin…..the perfect ride!!
I want I want I want ! What day is today? :)
Cycling and Castelli a marriage made in Heaven!
Last year, riding bikes back to a life after four years of operations, including June-Sept 2011 in hospital, I was inspired by my girlfriend/stoker wearing the Pink Gyro wool jersey preserved for 30 years – but I couldn’t see her much in it as she was behind me on the tandem! As I continue year 2 of regrowing muscles back on a bike, a Castelli calendar would sing to me every day.
Unfortunately I am not able to cycle at this moment due to a cycling accident (broken collarbone and many bruises).
Many of my Castelli items that I was wearing that day was damaged due to the accident, but helped preventing more physical damage.
It would be nice looking at a calendar that gives me motivation to cycle again and to recover more quickly!
I can’t think of a better way to keep track of my training than a Castelli Calendar
I live a breath cycling. I wake up every morning and look out the window to see what kind of day I am going to have on the roads. Whats better looking at a calendar filled with amazing images of clothing and roads on rainy days. Love Castelli..The best cycling gear around
Why should I get one of these calendars? Well, 2 of the greats together in one calendar – Castelli & Jered Gruber – that’s reason enough. But other reasons are that I work in a cubicle and live in a snow & ice covered city right now. Putting that calendar up would give me hope that someday soon I can put on my Scorpion gear and get out on the road again soon :-) Thanks for having this giveaway guys!
I’ve been in a cycling slump lately & staring at that while at my work desk will probably help me gear up & get on my bike more often.
I need a calendar as I missed the free on in cycling weekly. I also like Jered’s awesome photography :)
With the 2013 calendar, I will be able to write down my schedule for my Castelli clothes and match them with my gloves, arm warmers and socks.
I live on two wheels
I believe my copy of the Castelli calendar says today is the day Rick wins a calendar.
Cycling for me = Castelli. Never leave the house without your bibs, jerseys & jackets.
I would love a calendar because I love Castelli, your stuff the the greatest!!
I need a calendar for my classroom and, being in Portland, it’s sure to inspire some of my 15 year old students into becoming future riders with exquisite fashion.
everybody needs a calendar
I write my daily mileage/trainer time on a wall calendar and I would definitely draw some more motivation from having one of these fantastic calendars hanging above my desk. Castelli è il migliore!
Thankyou Castelli for Nanoflex… for beautifully toasty arms and legs, and for making me look better than all the other commuters on the road!
Castelli is top-notch. Every time I put on virtually any Castelli piece I feel like I can ride fast, train harder, go longer, and like I could nestle in the pro peloton. I also really enjoy all the great pictures posted on FB and instragram, so what better way to get inspired to add more races and training days to the calender, than to have one that inspires you to ride your bike.
I should win because I have replaced smoking with cycling. It’s been three years now. I love wearing my Castelli gear when either on my road bike or my mountain bike!!! Best damn kits out there!!!!!
Castelli, innovation, beauty, Italian design on an Englishman’s frame. The girls whistle, the guys look on with envy. What more do cyclists need? Simple, functional, fashionable cycle apparel.
Hello, I’m an exhausted, sleep deprived father of a 3 and 1 year old, who desperately needs this calendar hanging from the wall on my side of the bed; so that I can be reminded of the pure joy I’m missing everyday I choose to sleep in, and inspire me to get off my ass and witness similar landscapes in real life.
Been wearing Castelli for years, they’re the best. And I’m a Scorpio who keeps scorpions as pets. The calendar is simply necessary to my lifestyle.
<3 both Castelli and cycling… inspirational images from around the world. How can that not find a place on my wall?
Ride with panache ride with Castelli. Ride like robot ride with the rest.
I’d really like a calander because I love bikes, racing, and all my Castelli gear, yet I have zero art related to cycling. I’d hang it for all to see, and frame the months as they went by.
Myself and my team have been huge Castelli fans for years and use them for our Custom Team Gear. We love the photos and dreamlike landscapes!
Because I could use some extra motivation to get thru this winter!
Calendar? Calendar? I do need the stinging calendar!
Castelli is the classiest stuff around and I feel about 17x sexier just putting on the red and black free gloves. I think that sexy feeling will pop up to 25x each day if I could see even more Castelli around, such as a calendar.
Keep the calendar…I don’t need it….Castelli is the bomb, though! I love wearing my bibshorts and showing the sickest logo! A white scorpion. Sick!
Because NOTHING beautifies the home, the Chateau, the Castle, Gear room, bike shop, garage or bedroom better than “the Scorpion!”
Vai Castelli…Panache’, class and history all rolled up in one simple little red and white insect…
Doesn’t get any sweeter!
It’s Castelli!! Enough said
I need to win so that I can mark every day off suffering this winter and look forward to the summer when it all pays off. Inspiration.
Castelli provides the ability to wear custom and non custom quality Italian gear without a heavy price-tag. I love that there are actual innovations in the gear- not just marketing hype like so many other clothing companies!
I would like to win the calender because…
My team wears Castelli, I love wearing Castelli, I have ridden some of the roads photographed in the calender (in those same condtions…in Castelli kit…Passo Gavia in May),
and generallly appreciate great photography (especially of cycling). Whoever wins…complimenti!
Because my belgium Castelli cyclocross cap helped me through this cold winter…

As a woman cyclist its hard to find cycling gear that isn’t wretched. Castelli makes gear for us ladies that bot only looks great but works great. Id love to hang this calendar next to my trainer so during the insufferable indoor rides icn have some extra motivation. Count down to summer!
It would look pretty awesome hanging on the cubie wall!
I am a woman cyclist who lives to cycle, I ride to work, commute, ride the weekends. I love everything new about each ride even of its the same route. I find that you make the ride happen with attitude. Do you want to fly? You can… Actually, every ride, every mood is the ride. I share where of ride with any and everyone in photos, and I appreciate all views, whether in urban or outdoor vistas. Cheers.
I recently just started wearing Castelli cycling clothing and gear, and now, I am an independent brand evangelist here in the popular cycling region of Traverse City, Michigan.
My customer loyalty and word-of-mouth enthusiasm for quality Castelli clothing goes unsurpassed.
I will rep a much need calendar with pride and glory.
Ride on.
I would love a calendar as im about to spend a fortune on your new tri gear – simples :)
xx
I would make excellent use of this calendar for my developing road bike touring business in the Asheville NC area. It would help me track clients, appointments, and most importantly, keep me motivated to ride with the beautiful Gruber photographs.
Sometimes at night, I wake in a panic, but then I see my Castelli gear and know everything will be alright.
