There was a chap on a white rimmed cross bike at top of Denshaw moor last night.
Beard big enough to hide a badger in.
If I grow a beard that big will I be able to ride a silly skinny bike up such a hill?
Or had he arrived by car due to his beard weighing him down?
I hope not. I just shaved my little chin tuft off this morning! 😯
This guy last night had a very fine example. No way you could just shave it off. Would need at least clippers if not sheep shears.
Wife won't let me grow one... Have to agree with baldness as it is I would look odd.
But can handle odd for performance gains.
No, but chammy cream and shaving your legs is, apparently.
When I was a lad and interested in going fast and tuning my motorbike, I was told to shave the head and polish it, but to always have an air filter.
Well now my head is shaved and polished, I have grown an air filter, but I'm still slow.
Yes. Fact.

I've noticed you mentioned this 'chammy' thing in a few threads recently, but what the hell is one?
I think they are. Did you notice if the chap was carrying a musette?

Definately 8)
Not only on the bike but in the bedroom too.
Ah,
Now that explains why he looked familiar.
It also explains what looked like a film crew in the lay by opposite.
Did not make the link as there are so many other grizzly reasons for film crews and police to be up on t' moors.
Still won't be allowed one though.
Definitely.
It saves having to carry energy bars with you. A good bowl of broth or muesli eaten before riding can last hours on the trail if dribbled properly...

It's a sadist roadie thing, apparently, you know, for those mental cases who choose to ride on the road and post about it on a mountain bike forum?

It was me and my performance was enhanced....
Are beards performance enhancing?
Not if me mam is anything to go by!
So glad I got off the motorway...
Also glad I didn't actually crash or run anyone over while rubbernecking to spot what was going on.
Hope that it didn't take that many people to film a moon though?
yes indeed...

jackoinmoss - I shot myself 😉
No connection with the media shoot that was going on up there.
They also enhance your woman-repelling performance if you find yourself just a little bit too handsome.
I'm very much clean shaven.

how very very odd.
yeah great for repelling women... Mrs Bikemonger effin hates them.
She once said you look like a c, she didn't mean to rude, it was not that I was behaving like a c, it was just that face had started to look a bit like a fanny.
oooh naughty Ed... 😳 😉
i was on that bridge on sunday..... luckily no beards were in sight that day ! 😉
Aye, beards repel some women, but they attract the right sort too! 🙂
lol @ CTB

I went almost beardless the other week, after I accidentally set the clippers on number 1. I was ordered to grow it back by the wife. I think she wants to keep me to herself.
I too was ordered to grow beard by wife on the grounds my chin was rubbish. I don't particularly like having a beard so we have a permanent stubble compromise going. [stubble can't be too short to avoid chafing during intimate moments
