Boards Jersey Sightings

beans · 08-07-2008 5:30pm

I'm currently learning how to ride my road bike in the Phoenix park, after 20 years on and off various MTBs and hybrids it's a real learning curve!

Finally managed to get the fit right yesterday, so will be back out tonight to fine-tune things. The bike seemed to disappear under me at one point, almost disconcertingly comfortable

Shall keep my eyes skinned for jerseys.

Since this thread started (and me getting back in the saddle again) I'd have to say 'You and me both'..

I have a mental image of a boards.ie jersey cyclist being chased by a rag-tag army of fellow cyclists in all many off attire and bikes.

Spotted someone this morning. You were coming down Georges Street at around 8:20 in your boards gear. I was going the other way, in Orwell kit.

penexpers is putting in an order for them in the next day or so, so get in touch with him asap (send him a pm), and you may just squeak in on this round of orders

Cabaal · 10-07-2008 10:50am

Jersey looks good lads, not seen any around though

arybvtcw0eolkf · 22-07-2008 4:29pm

Seen...

Yellow fixie (I think) on Camden St. (Dublin) this morning. Rider was wearing a BOARDS.ie jersey

Travelling towards Angier St.

'Fess up?.

That has to be Verb.

Though it is unusual to see him travel at anything less than light speed, usually much too fast to discern details like what type of jersey he's wearing.:D

It was only when I overtook him that I realised it was a BOARDS.ie jersey, and I think a brooks saddle (but I could be wrong on that - I was going too fast)

Saw him yesterday on Wexford St as I was waiting to cross onto Montague St. - forgot to post here after site came back up. It's very yellow

Thats the one!.

Gavin · 22-07-2008 5:11pm

Who overtook me !? I think not, I had a great run along there this morning, cruised past a great big stream of cyclists.

Wow, fame at last, I knew a bright gaudy yellow bicycle would come in handy!

thanks for the headsup unionman !

I over took you... Ya want yor go, or wha?.

Actually, you did in fact over take me. But I've a very good reason why that happened, I swear!.

Chips Lovell · 22-07-2008 5:17pm

And a bitter commuter race rivalry is born.

heh, what do you cycle ? I'll keep my eyes open and add you to the list to break my balls trying to keep ahead of. At the moment it's just you and unionman and his langster on it.

I'm wary of bumping into unionman, I need a wee hill around to defeat him.

A problem with such a bright bicycle and boards.ie jersey actually is that if I do something really stupid, people will be able to find me. Maybe not a bad problem.

niceonetom · 22-07-2008 5:33pm

does the boards jersey put manners on anyone else? i find that when so attired i'm much more likely to respect the authority of lights etc. i don't want some fecker coming on to the forum demanding the identity/apology of the wanker they saw doing [something slightly irresponsible] this morning.

for this reason i do not wear it for commuting.

It makes me think twice about everything alright. Though it does make me more determined to overtake everything I see in case its a boards user on/in the bike/car/helicoptor in question.

lol

I love the way the langster gets a separate mention (she will be pleased:D).

I am getting much better on those hills (I find Hill St more of a challenge than Nth Gt Georges...so anytime you want a rematch:cool:).

If we keep talking this up, our one and only sprint could develop legendary status!!

It already is legendary ! We may have to take it to the track to sort it out. Although you've got the advantage there, cycling fixed. That'd be my excuse anyway.

This morning I was walking, I'd almost never be over that side of town on the bike. Sorry.

Just seen you whizz past, noticed the BOARDS jersey and the bright yellow bike.

BeerNut · 25-07-2008 9:59am

Woo hoo! Got one at last!

Ahead of me (obviously) all the way from Harold's Cross Bridge to the Four Courts, just after 8am.

Supercell · 25-07-2008 2:32pm

Spotted one a couple of hours ago on the way up to Calary (old Roundwood road), thats some serious climbing!

Danbo! · 30-07-2008 8:55am

Going towards the Knocklyon road? Was that you burning by me?

Danbo! · 30-07-2008 9:46am

Yep burning indeed, gear it up seamus!!

You came down the ballycullen road onto the firhouse road? I was on a Giant FCR3

Jesus, its hard posting in this thread without making it sound like this

I was tired this morning, decided I was going to spin into work

You looked like you were in a rush anyway, I saw no benefit in chasing

I only noticed because you don't get many people burning by you when you're doing 32km/h.

Jesus, its hard posting in this thread without making it sound like this

Danbo! · 30-07-2008 9:52am

Yeah i average 40 all the time, even if not in a hurry, i swear

CyaL8r · 30-07-2008 4:25pm

I've spotted a boards kit in East Point Business Park. Seen him a couple of time. I think he usually has a blue backpack on aswell

I know of at least one other Boardsie working in there.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 30-07-2008 4:43pm

Spotted a Boards Jersey on Camden St the other morning, riding a (I think) red'ish mountain bike with a high mudguard over the back wheel [suspension too I think].

You try ride a bike with 1.5" tyres and suspension sucking every bit of extra energy out of ye, then tell me about it

Danbo! · 30-07-2008 4:50pm

yeah in fairness to you I'm on 700x23c at 110psi, and was in a hurry

31-07-2008 11:14pm

I can't say I've seen the boards jersey on anyone yet (unless I missed it on this) but I think I saw that famous bright yellow bike (Verb) around Aungier Street at around 7pm tonight. I almost said to the person I was walking with 'I recognise that bike from the internet!' before sanity kicked in again.

8.30ish this moning, bridge end of Capel St. Guy with glasses pulled up beside me (I was in my van). He had a bit of fun trying to clip into his pedals!

mkdon05 · 01-08-2008 4:27pm

Damn shimano pedals always flip upside down when not clipped in. Drove me demented this mornin!!

blorg · 01-08-2008 5:13pm

Double-sided SPDs are great if you don't ride the bike much in normal shoes. Completely fix that problem.
