Worst helmet hair?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Worst helmet hair?

Was out on a 5 hour cruise with one of my friends. We stopped for a soda and I took off my helmet and he started laughing his ass off then proceeded to take this photo.

Just thought I would share and cheer everyone's Tues up!



Considering it usually looks like this or shorter, it was quite the disaster!!! LOL.

It is near Red Rock Canyon in Vegas. Suprising to many people, tons of climbing in the Vegas area. Well considering Nevada is the most mountain covered state in the union that should be no suprise. LOL
Red Rock. Pretty place.

I thought they looked familiar. Yup, the Red Rock loop is evil. Beautiful, but evil!

I think Valley of Fire only about 30 min outside of Vegas is even better. The big Southern Nevada Stage Race at the end of Feb goes right through some of this!!!






Honestly the best part of Nevada is Central. There is nothing out there and it is just fricken beautiful. The least visited National Park in the U.S. is in Central NV (Great Basin). Lots of open pretty country out here.

I hate you all in the western US.

I'm moving out there soon... once the job market picks up (never?).

I'd post pictures, however I'm in the same category as saratoga: the Darth Maul sunburn pattern is a greater risk!

Yeah, the weather is AWESOME. It was in the 70s today! It gets hotter than hell in the middle of Summer but it is only for about 2 and a half months. The remaining 9-10 months is just perfect.

Yes, the job market sucks and business overall is terrible. I am 100% commission and my sales are down 50%...It's rough.

Ahh yes, I scanned the posts but somehow missed the ones mentioning me.

Hmmm, I like the spray paint idea. With enough hair gell, it might even be able to absorb impact like a helmet!

ROTFLMAO!! I think you may have something there. DOT, ANSI, SNELL hair gel.

My hair is super thick. I actually use tons of gel to slick it back for work. When it hardens, it is hard as a rock. Pretty funny.

I think it is time to go back to my shorter hair again. My mop just turns into a giant fro!!

Mine is thick, too, but it defies gel. It stays hard until I touch it to anything, then it's soft. I'm waiting until my hairline keeps moving back like my grandfather's, then I'm shaving it bald!

From the avatar picture I thought you had cornrows.
