Get a Head-Start on Movember with the Handlebar Mustache Challenge
Dudes- need something interesting to do as winter descends upon us AND you have the ability to grow facial hair (sorry pre-pubescent boys)? Heard about No-Shave November?
I recommend participating in “Movember.” The actual organization is set up to raise awareness of male-related cancers, which is cool. The fact that you also get to rock a badass mustache is icing on the cake!
Since about mid-August, I’ve been growing a handlebar mustache. I’ve given fairly regular picture updates via Facebook… here’s the latest:
After growing beards for the better part of two years, I needed to change it up a bit. I was inspired by a dude that ran TransRockies. How far will I let it go? Who knows… it’s sort of addicting.

October 19, 2012I think this is a great cause and a fun way to support. I will start my movember today too as I just shaved this morning.
Nice Stache!

October 19, 2012Oh I’ve got a 4 year head start on the handlebar challenge.
I can’t even remember what it’s like to eat ice cream from a cone.
