Since I cannot see my own bald spot, I am still a handsome devil!

😄😄😄Awe come on now, any day you can get on a bike a ride is a good day. I got out of riding for a long, long time , because I hated the getting up at 4am to torture yourself and try and beat the other guy on the ride.
The look is subjective , im sure you dont look that bad on the bike ...🥸

I rode up Mt Mitchell after maybe only riding for 6 months. I was quite a bit larger than I am now. I had bought our company's sponsor team kit. It could have gone down as one of those worst ever kit designs. Let's just say lots of white and mesh. Either way at the top a very nice retired couple saw me and asked if I wanted a photo beside the mountain top elevation sign. I got the photo, but I hid myself out of shame behind the elevation sign so all you can see is my shoulders up.

For long rides I used summer balaclavas anyway. And after a massive crash I no longer ride. And there's sunblock. But yes, I definitely would like an excuse to buzz it all off.
