Me v old man with beard

[KingStromba]

Right, so im travelling up Dereham road this morning on my push bike. Cruising along up the long labourious gentle hill heading out of the city. As i pass the co-op on the left i look across to see an old guy on a bike waiting at a junction. Have a quick look at his bike. Nothing fancy, few chioce mods, nothing chavy.

Anyway about 30 seconds later this guy flies past me. Jeesus. Not having that. Drop down 1 gear, nothing, 2 gears, nothing. Go down another two gears and im out of the saddle and i start to reel him in. 10 meters, 7 meters, 3 meters. Then i go past him and im biulding up speed so im up 1 gear, back in the seat, then another gear, then another. As i pass i look across and there is this old guy with a wrinkled face. Must be 60 at least. Massive long white / grey beard, looks just like Captain Birdseye. Bike looked tidy.

I pull about 10 bike lengths on him and get help up a bit by some pedestrian lights, 2 mins later, i look back and the guy is out of HIS saddle, comming back at me.

I managed to keep ahead, but it certainly suprised me. Anyone know the spec on an old man with a beard?

My mates dad has a beard and my mate reakons hes raced him loads and always wins easy. But a guy down the pub told me they are fast. Any one raced one? I was happy with my smooth boyish good looks but now im thinking of getting a beard.

I was one up but had a rucksack and he one one up but had panniers. Any help?

Id love a long white beard, i think they look the nuts, but i need practical facial hair. So would i see much improvement with just a goatee? My mate grew a mustache and saw no improvement atall.
