OFFICIAL: People with beards ride slower...
Yep, after several months of rigorous research, I can publish the results of my theory.
The last time I did a circuit of the Monkey Trail at Cannock Chase, there was a chap in his 20's or 30's sporting a full beard. Apart from a few of the downhill sections, I was much faster than him (especially on the upward bits.)
A short while ago, I overtook someone with copious amounts of facial hair on a road that I'm sure he could have ridden faster if he'd have been clean shaven.
Today, if further proof were needed, I was overtaken by several beardless riders, but the two beardies soon got reeled in and passed.
Now for the science bit: U235(92)+n -> Ba142(56) + KR91(36) +3n +3.2^-11J
I rest my case.
