Beards and Bikes

No, not a "hipster" thread. Maybe some of you have heard of Movember ( Movember United States - Home).

Anyway, it got me thinking, how many of you rock facial hair with your vintage bikes? Post a pic! Either with a bike, or without. Let's see who has the most impressive beard.

I'll start with my Movember submission from two years ago because I have it here handy.

anyway, this is just for fun. Bonus points if you post with your vintage bike.

I have a feeling whathisname from Florida is going to win this...

When rocking a TT ride on that Cannondale Crit Series I got quite the looks from 3 young ladies in their 20's as I zipped by at 25+mph. I assume it was a surprise to see an older biker with a white 'tee in the drops of a racing bike. I knew I was laughing with them.

A selfie with Paul at th end of our 60 mile gravel grind on mid '80s Schwinn High Sierras. Only about 36 hours on the chin whiskers. The 'stash stays.

At the beginning of the ride, just to prove we did it on bikes.

I'm casting an early vote for the Gnome as the winner of this one.

Bikes: they change so much I'm tired of updating this

Between the Marine Corps, and the fire dept. Ive never had the opportunity to grow a beard. 13 years to go till retirement, then I will dig up this thread and post a pic of my beard.

I normally keep my beard well trimmed but sometimes it needs to be aired out.
