Rule #50
Facial hair is to be carefully regulated.
No full beards, no moustaches. Goatees are permitted only if your name starts with “Marco” and ends with “Pantani”, or if your head is intentionally or unintentionally bald. One may never shave on the morning of an important race, as it saps your virility, and you need that to kick ass.
– from Velominati: The Rules, the sacred text wherein lie the simple truths of cycling etiquette
Perhaps you roadie gents can celebrate Movember by abstaining from shaving your legs instead. Not shaving you legs is in fact a violation of Rule #33, however it is far less conspicuous and likely more permissible in the off-season. You will also look less like Burt Reynolds, a fact that will undoubtably be appreciated by your better half.
I can hardly wait for Vajanuary.

I was thinking more about Decembeard…
I know G. Burt Reynolds makes me a little uncomfortable too.
exactly.
