Do you have a black singlespeed with drops and rack that you park out the back door?

No rack, which side are you calling the back? Restaurant side? It's a singlespeed alright, funny colour, probably looks black though.

If it was jeans and a boards jacket it was me inside the building.

Not the restaurant side, the side near the track. Suppose I'll know if it's your bike on monday. The one I'm thinking of has spesh bits on it i think.

Whoooo Hooooo finally got spotted, yep that was me on the way home after 70 odd k

Was talking to another fellow boardsie between Naul and Balbriggan for a few mins, sorry can't remember your name though

:o:o:o. He wasn't wearing a boards jersey as such so does that still count as a spotting ?

iregk · 11-04-2010 10:49pm

Opposite the Texaco coming into Blessington (from wicklow side) circa 1:15 on Saturday. I was on the way to a wedding in Laragh and you were taking a breather and having a munch.

That'd be me on the homeward leg

Lumen. Just after 9am at hueston bridge/parkgate st.

Fantastic victory salute. Made my morning sir.
Sorry didn't wave. Short sightedness meant I only recognised you as you took the line and saluted.

sixpack's little hat · 12-04-2010 10:39pm

Spotted on Penrose Quay in cork city at about 2:30 this afternoon

Tiny's only back cycling since the good weather arrived also, he's giving some crap about an injury and it's probably only a chipped tooth or something like that.

All jokes aside welcome back.

Spotted a Boards jacket, silver coloured helmet, road bike (but didn't get a good look) on Dorset St, citybound, at about 930 this morning.

buffalo · 15-04-2010 10:00pm

Hi to ant whom I met in the Phoenix Park this evening. o/

Highway_To_Hell · 16-04-2010 10:10am

At around 8am today I got a glimpse of a boards jersy out of the cornor of my eye, very bright and clean hi-vis cover on their backpack, was on the Ballycullen road heading towards Scholarstown road I was heading the opposite direction.

kenmc · 16-04-2010 10:22am

Think I saw seamus again stopped at lights junction of south circular road and Harolds cross, bout 8.30 or so.
I was on a bus this morning else would have said hello

seamus · 16-04-2010 12:25pm

Yep, both me. Though it was more like 8.20 Ken, didn't take me 30 minutes to get from Firhouse to Leonard's corner!

kenmc · 16-04-2010 1:02pm

No, definitely closer to 8.30. The bus picked me up outside the garda club on scr @ 8.25

seamus · 16-04-2010 1:11pm

Then I must have left late

Hey Buffalo, First time seeing a Boards jersey stationary and up close. They look good. See you round.

Sounds like it. Were you one of the cyclists coming up? Seemed to be a few of you in the same jersey.

jimm · 17-04-2010 7:40pm

blorg? with lady companion on Military road today at 14.43.
I was in blue s/s jersey nearing the top of the climb out of Glenasmole valley.
Gave the "Boardsie" shout and got a wave back.:)

Robertd_07 · 17-04-2010 9:13pm

Todays sightings
1. WAR Cycle No. 2 On the road up to lough tay viewing point.
(Jake on tour I think) I forgot on the climb up to the viewing point.
2. Sitting on the grass at the finish to WAR.
Was too tired to talk at that point.

Yeah that was me and a couple of newbie members from Thinkbike.ie I brought them for their first 100 k spin today...
Where did you get to in the end ?

Could have been me. I was sitting on the grass for a while trying to figure of if my legs would ever move again.

I met jeffontour at the finish and I did see one other boards jersey but he was on the phone at the time so I didn't say hello.

I was that way too. The massage I got was well worth the wait.
Legs still sore, but hate to think what they'd be like without it.

anoble66 · 18-04-2010 5:09pm

saw a boards jersey at WAR yesterday too....what a great day. Not sure I will ever walk again but enjoyed it....bring on the next one

CheGuedara · 19-04-2010 10:07am

Spotted DualFrontDiscs (DFD)* cruising down South Circular near James's and heading towards Rialto a wee bit ago.

That extracycle is a cool job and LONG! (bet if you go right around a roundabout you'll be able to see the back of it ahead of you

Spotted at last! I was beginning to suspect that this 'sightings' thread was an in joke that I wasn't in on! Admittedly, I don't have a jersey. I don't think it would 'go' with the bikes I ride. Not quite 'racey' enough.

It looks longer than it is. It's no more than 18" longer than a regular bike! And you really don't notice the extra length when cycling. Though curbs and speed bumps feel a bit strange.

A glut of boards jersey sightings for me over the weekend. Both jeffontour and Git101 doing the Wicklow Adventure Race on Saturday. Well done gents, hope your legs are in better shape than mine at the moment.

While heading in (or rather hobbling in) for lunch in Laragh on Sunday I met unionman sipping coffee outside the hippy cafe place. Good to see you're back on the bike, and getting in plenty of hills by the sounds of that route you had planned home.

Also spotted another in boards jersey and shorts outside the same cafe around 1pm, didn't recognise the face and didn't have a change to say hello.

Cheers MH, the auld legs are still a bit tired.
Fairplay for introducing yourself. Don't think I would have been able to speak if I was travelling at the speed you were doing :eek:

Forgot to mention also met Briano at the finish.

And nice to see you again too. The journey back was tough enough in spots but we stuck to the plan. Only upset was a puncture on the way back down from Bohernabreena. Terrible surface there at the moment. 102km for the day which was good after such a long spell off the bike. I can only hope to improve on my time before June 13.

Hope you boys are holding up well. I was pretty knackered Saturday evening and am still well tired today. Tonight is a rest day methinks!

Good chatting briefly with you both.
