Fiddel Castro eat your heart out baby. Got to love those Cubans

With all that darn salt and crap on the roads the bike needed a good washing after today's ride.

Gotta give it to Monte, he always knows the good routes to ride. It keeps things interesting riding in a new area. Also from a training standpoint its a good thing to ride new areas. I'm used to just turning the pedals for boring mile after mile out were we live. Riding in the metro area makes you stop and go with lots of hard efforts just to keep from getting ran over from all that darn traffic. but there are a lot of great trails that are bike only.

coming down to the end

We need people to start voting for their favorite beard.

The beard payed off

With the cold wind and snow this past weekend the beard sure keep my face warm. Not a huge deer but will taste good when it comes back from butcher.

Arrgh they call me red beard

I think Monte has me by a little bit. It must be all that protein from all those Morning Star soy-based chicken patties. Some questions have came up regarding how we are going to determine the best beard. I think we should come up with a panel of judges to compare length,fullness,softness and overall apperance

We are gonna have a little contest

Who can grow the gnarliest beard until Christmas. The last time I shaved was the 2nd of Oct.
