Ladies, I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking that the minute your man starts to grow facial hair is the minute you are walking out the door. I know how you feel, because I, too, had the prejudice. There was a time when the mere thought of my man growing any facial hair made my skin crawl. Just a mustache seemed like crazy-talk. To me, a man with a mustache looked laughable. I think I may have even laughed aloud at times when I saw men I didn't know sporting a 'stache. Little did I know. Those men that I mocked were actually trailblazers. Sexy trailblazers on the road to Mustache Summer.

Now that I have seen the light, I have taken it upon myself to change the minds of the rest of you ladies. With that in mind, I will present you with sexy evidence of the joys of the mustache every Monday for the next 3 months. This page is my tribute to mustaches and to the men who wear them. I hope that it will inspire you ladies to encourage your men to grow their mustaches, even if it does mean living through the torment of the beard for a few weeks. Ride on!

Welcome to the first of many Rides of the Week.
The Ride this week personifies the spirit of Mustache Summer completely. I've included two photographs of this ride in order to make a point. Some people were born to wear a mustache. The Nuge is definitely one of those people.

Check him out without a mustache:

And now, check him out with a mustache:

Put on your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
