Me on the right as I was shrinking it down in the spring. Full beard for the winter. Clean shaven in the summer. On the Trek 560, riding in North Birmingham AL.

Selfie taken on August 30. My helmet is too far back on my head.

I go in cycles. Beard for 9 months to a couple years then I shave it after too many complaints about scratchiness. Go clean shaven for ~3 months until I get tired of shaving every day, then the beard comes back. Wash, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.

bicyclridr4life 11-04-14 07:26 PM

Accident. Did not notice the sign.

[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] Tell them the secret to that mustache! It's actually illegal in 3 countries and considered a religious relic in 4. And at least you have a helmet. I will be trying to re-introduce a helmet to my head when i get back on the bike in the spring after not wearing one for ages. Should be interesting....

noglider 11-05-14 11:49 AM

Two secrets to the mustache: 1. judicious trimming, and 2. Clubman wax. Now what's this you're saying about illegal and religious?

cobrabyte 11-05-14 12:54 PM

A moustache is a beard for your nose

For Noglider..yes. I was told once that facial hair becomes a beard only when you can see it without a mirror.

[MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] lol...I was expecting to hear that you used Dapper Dan. Like I said...you can pull off that mustache because you are gifted, and clubman wax helps!

I had a professor in college who biked and had HUGE nose hairs so long that it formed a hitlerish stache look. The professor would lecture us on how our nasal hairs were the bodies first defense to 'catch and filter those harmful bacteria' from entering your body. To most of the class....they just looked hideous on her.
[MENTION=11101]Cobra[/MENTION]brytee Since 2012! Nice! I used to cut my hair once a year back in college. My hair was long, curly, and crazy. Those were the days! Then i hit 28 and it all fell out. The End.

I had a bushier beard last year but it got in the way of my stethoscope so I trimmed it. Damn job

noglider 11-05-14 09:36 PM

[MENTION=276051]pamaguahiker[/MENTION], I guess I'm fastidious in my grooming. Nose hairs are gross. As a naturally hairy guy, I have a lot of work to do in order to keep my nose and ears hair-free. I also cut my own hair on my head. I've been doing that for years.

Beard, and trust me, I'm on a bike. A selfie at L'Eroica with my friend photobombing me.

That is my local ride, and parts of which I will ride if I ever commute to work in WB.

But I love to drive up to White Haven and ride the Black Diamond trail. :)

That's one of our favorite WB rides.. well, part anyways! I do commute in WB but alas, it's all city riding. Not nearly as scenic, LOL.

We've never been. Neither of us have the kind of bike that trail needs so we stay on paved roads/MUPs!

-holiday76 11-06-14 08:02 AM

well, I had one up until yesterday.

I've ran across a few women on hormone therapy that had some serious 5 o'clock shadow going on so, women aren't totally out of this thread

As a testicular cancer survivor (2 years and all clear!) I encourage all Jewish and Italian women to not wax their upper lip for the month in show of solidarity.
Also I gladly rock the most ridiculous 'stache I can for the month and remind my fellow menfolk to check their teste(s) regularly...or have their partner help, its more fun that way.

I have seen quite a few road bikes on the Black Diamond trail, although it isn't quite as smooth as the majority of the Lehigh Gorge where I have seen more road bikes. I plan to ride next year on my vintage touring bike with 27 x 1 & 1/4 tires, and I won't hesitate to ride any of the D&L trail, although it would be less than ideal for the first mile or two either side of downtown White Haven. In doing the Black Diamond, I drive to the road crossing north of White Haven instead of the White Haven tail head, because the trail surface is better from that point northward.

Welcome to the forum Eveready! Nice beard/moustache combo! Very impressive. What Trek model is that you've got? Still have it? If not, what have you got now?

Been letting mine grow for the 11 years since I broke my ankle. Every now and then I grab a fist full at the end and cut that much off.

So your avatar isn't a picture of you? I should have known.

ofgit 11-06-14 01:26 PM

Not me. A member didn't like my other avatar and when I changed it, I quickly picked one from some saved from the net pics. Course I had to edit the 'words of wisdom' associated with that old geezer's look though.
