Said hello to Seamus in a boards jersey at Baggot Street Bridge this morning. Sorry if I alarmed you, I was rather excited about actually getting to say hello to a boards jersey sighting!

Just saying thanks to the guys this morning for the gel pack at about 9.30 ish. I was flying up past dolphin barn and they gave me a gel pack. Think you were all following a truck? Wanted to stop and chat but was really late for work and had to get in!! (though am a bit wrecked now!)

Hmm... It might have been if it was Tuesday evening.

The lack of helmet gave you away

RobertFoster · 23-08-2014 4:04pm

Gave a shout to someone in full green kit heading towards Clonee from Bracetown today at 14:22. Dunno if you heard me say boardsie, but you gave me a wave anyway

rollingscone · 25-08-2014 8:54am

Green Jersey between Portobello and Leeson st bridge on the Grand Canal this morning at around 0835.

Didn't shout for fear of starting a sheeple stampede into the canal.

NeedMoreGears · 25-08-2014 10:05am

Garmin Guy (full pink) at the Séan Kelly. Also Bazermc (thanks for the coffee) and eoin88 in disguise

That was me - I find the new boards jersey difficult to spot from far away - it's a little too subdued and classy for early identification! I was almost gone past when I realised you were a boardsie.

Full pink kit turning left onto Holles Street from Merrion Square yesterday at about 7pm. Nice Bianchi!

Might have been myself.

Wishbone Ash · 01-09-2014 11:27pm

Cresting the summit of the Col du San Bernard and bringing the new pink/green kit from France into Italy.

Bringing the pink kit high into the Italian Alps on the 42km trek along the notoriously difficult unpaved Assietta Ridge Road.

Hmmzis · 03-09-2014 9:43am

Pink jersey long sleeves at 7:59 this morning turning off the Balyboden roundabout towards Willbrook road. I was heading the other way for the hills, gave you a wave and a 'hey boards'.

seamus · 03-09-2014 9:45am

Morning Hmmzis, gave you a nod but it might have gone unseen

RobertFoster · 03-09-2014 2:41pm

Green kit heading towards Lusk from Blake's Cross at 12:22. Gave a shout, but probably wasn't heard over the tractor I was drafting stuck behind.

Apologies - I was a bit slow to react but heard your call alright. I couldn't see you as you seemed to be obscured by the tractor when I looked around.

tampopo · 05-09-2014 11:56pm

Earlier this evening, about 17.45, second encounter in a month on Suir Bridge. Two different sightings, that is...

Seen a green and black one at the junction of Pearse St. and Grand Canal Quay (the cobbled street) this morning at about 08:55, I was going against you so missed the obligatory hello and wave.

Could have been, thought it was a race bike but only copped the jersey at the last second.

rollingscone · 10-09-2014 8:35pm

Green jersey at Harolds X bridge heading East with multicoloured arm warmers. Around 1845 today.

Gave a 'hey boardsie'

Hey think that was me this time-had orange bag and leggings. Just heard you shout as went past. Looked like you were out for a jog

My bike was just obscured by fog!

Lusk_Doyle · 10-09-2014 9:26pm

Pink kit at 6:05 on the way from Lusk to Blakes Cross. Twas I giving you the time gap to the chase group behind and the offer of a bottle!

Ah, so that was you!

Nice to meet you

(I couldn't hear what you said with the wind noise!)

Wishbone Ash · 10-09-2014 9:45pm

Full pink kit outbound on the Clontarf/Sutton track at approx 7pm. (cdaly?)

I was shouting at you to stop looking behind, get the head down and ride your bike harder! (I wasn't at all really!)

Yea, I was slacking a bit alright!

You should get a left hand drive car - it'll make handing out sticky bottles easier.

Yep. Having fun racing myself home...

Plastik · 14-09-2014 9:19pm

Someone in pink Boards kit at the Joe Loughman Randonée this morning. Didn't get a chance to say hello.

wanderer 22 · 16-09-2014 8:40pm

Passed and gave a 'hi.boardsie' about 5:45 near Stocking Lane

rollingscone · 16-09-2014 9:18pm

Saw two Boardsies in the Green kit along the Grand Canal this evening at around 1840 - one passed me at the Hilton going West. The other might have been Wizardej again I think? On an MTB sitting at a crossing opposite me while I wheeled the wifenbike with one hand and carried a wheel box in the other.

Didn't call out, because there might have been several awkward minutes of standing on the opposite sides of a crossing immediately after.

Zyzz · 16-09-2014 10:27pm

Spotted pink jersey on my way back from Howth around 5.30 just after St.Annes park although Im not sure what exact time, second time Ive waved and shouted Boardsie..no response either times..

100m down the road a green kit, on a canyon I think? Was gunna shout but was too depressed after being ignored 30 seconds earlier.. :pac:

daragh_ · 16-09-2014 10:40pm

Shouted hello to a Boardsie in pink gear coming through the Laragh crossroads on Sunday - presume you were part of the Bray Wheelers Randonee.

I was the stressed looking person with the whistle.

I passed alongside a Boardsie in pink while wearing pink myself and he looked across at me and made no response after I said hello. Some people are just weird! He should be made return the kit.

Yeah think that was me on the black hybrid. Sounds like you didn't have free hands to wave with anyway

T'was me - my first public acknowledgment of wearing the pink... looked like you were about to tackle Cruagh with a vengance..

May have been myself, I took a right here: https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.2948042,-6.2809762,3a,75y,180.68h,74.57t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1swDLype2v8DVhS3KSNmjhDw!2e0 and then another right onto Taylor's Lane once I got up the Grange Road hill. Black & Green Trek hybrid?

Kinet1c · 20-09-2014 9:30pm

Twas you indeed, was going to beep but I dislike being beeped at myself so thought better of it

Getting beeped at would only annoy me in a situation where I'm going downhill and trying to concentrate on speed / obstructions / other traffic etc. Any other case and I'll give a friendly wave, nod or thumbs up back.

Hmmzis · 21-09-2014 8:55am

Green jersey at 8:49am today heading west on Nutgrove avenue.

neris · 21-09-2014 3:44pm

Black jersey with green & pink bands on the swords cycle this morning
