Stache / Lotoja update

I had the full beard going, but I caved and shaved off the sides.
Don't worry I'm keeping the stache for Lotoja.
The plan right now is to sport a handlebars stach with a middle goat, and long sideburns.
Although a simple cop stache might get the greatest laugh.

Team GC Connection out on a 100 mile training ride yesterday.

If you haven't seen a pic of Doug and his beard (I hope he took a pic) you need to ASAP before he shaves part of it off (please keep the stache). Every time I looked at him on the ride I had to smile and laugh (power of the stache).
Only 2 weeks until it is done.
