    This isn't my best photo - however, it's the only one made on the ride. Invisible is my head - OK partial head - of hair, unlike a certain brother I know.

    When I look in a mirror I think, "Well, I'm not THAT old." When I see a photo of myself, or catch an unexpected reflection in window glass, I think to myself, "What the heck happened to me!?!?"

    Thanks for sharing the photos and the story. Ride reports like this are one of the best parts of Bike Forums, in my opinion. As someone who has lived in PA for most of my life, I enjoy seeing pictures from rides in other parts of the country.

    From a totally objective point of view, I can tell you that hair is overrated. Less is easier to maintain and makes you look more athletic...
