Fairhill and Beard Endorsements

Masters Racers working the Pit after our races..

The last month or so of my life has been pretty much the weirdest ever. One of the odder things to come out of that is the fact that now I have a beard. In the past I have set out to grow a beard and done well, but for whatever reason, this one is my best effort, and it was never intended.

My theory is that when it got to the stage were canoodling would be impacted, you know because Monkey doesn't love cuddling with a porcupine, She got sick. So no canoodling was happening, and thus, my beard was able to flourish.

I have also noticed that Dudes generally appreciate other Dudes strong facial hair. I've never had so many of my dude friends say "beard looks great man..." On the other hand, I find most women hate my beard. It's like Krypotnite for the ladies. I walk by old friends, and I see the look of contempt on their faces, "don't even come near me with that thing!"

Now Mrs. Vanderbacon has been pretty quiet on the entire beard thing. That was until yesterday as she is starting to feel better, and with any luck canoodling will commence shortly! Attempting to sway the  vote to a positive for the beard, I sought out and received some  endorsements of my beard from some other awesome women. Deidre, CC, Theresa, and Michelle. Michelle, did qualify her endorsement, "Visually it looks good, but I just have to look at it, I don't want Monkey to be mad at me!"  No worries, while I certainly appreciate the endorsements, Monkey might not yet be sold....  We may have a canoodling vs beard issues soon. I think we all know how that one ends up...

Oh, and hey I did a cross race Saturday.  I got a good start, maybe a bit of an over start, but it kind of unfolded that way, and I did my damnest to stay on Fergies wheel for the better part of two laps. I kinda got gapped off at that point and a nice chase group of 10 or so reeled me in a bit. With two to go found myself in a group with Mark P, Wilson from VA, and Johan. I had a master plan to win the group, and as I started to execute my plan going into one to go, I realized they all had master plans of their own, and apparently they were executing much better than I. Still a good ride, solid result in the MAC, and generally speaking I felt good to day on the bike.
