Boards Jersey Sightings

LDB · 2008-07-03 12:39:57

Saw a boards jersey this morning around 8:20 time heading towards Seville place/upper sherrif st I think (coming from N circular road) I noticed the speed of the person first, and then the jersey ... whoever you are you were flying! It’s quite cool to spot the jersey out and about. Anyone else had any sightings?

I saw a pair of boards shorts swerve to avoid a pothole on the Coast Road to Howth cycle path last Thursday evening (14th). Was in a group of three, seemed as though it almost came a cropper!

Might be best posting a new thread. People will pretty much check this one out for boards jersey sightings. You will get more direct responses by starting a new thread. I know bugger all about duathlons, sorry!

Well first step is to get your boards jersey so you can be spotted in it. Seriously though, I would post on the Marathon/Triathlon board, particularly if your issue is mainly to do with the running. All very helpful people and indeed there is a thread over there already with a very similar focus.

I spotted my Racing Rival on his Specialized Langter chowing through traffic this evening near Smithfield. I was in a car and passed by and was then passed by. I had to resist getting out of the car and chasing after in an effort to overtake.

I shouted at my driver, "Hey ! A Boards.ie jersey, I know that guy, do three beeps." The driver refused. And then the driver managed to partially block the cycle lane when about to pull in. I cringed and cowered in the seat, hiding myself from view as the man from the union cycled past.

lol!!!

I don't remember anyone blocking the cycle lane; mind you, it's not unusual on that stretch.

I was on a particularly good roll through Smithfield yesterday, I have a clear recollection of making eye contact with a driver in his wing mirror who was waiting to change lanes (he yielded) and thinking to myself "that almost never happens!!"

I spotted you a few weeks ago on that hill that you used to beat me, I was walking and actually called you (imagine the looks I got for shouting the word 'verb!' randomly:D). You were 'in the zone' I reckon, never heard me.

Next time I expect you to jump out of the car and give it your best shot!!:D

Two sightings of two different people.
1) A few weeks ago near McDonalds in Donaghmede.

2) Today on Georges Street while I was late-lunching in Yammamouri, I saw the banana-bike with it's owner in a Boards jersey. I must admit, I got a little excited by it.

Saw two boards jerseys today, about 13h00 or so. They were stopped beside Johnnie Fox's pub, having a chat. One with long hair tied at the back. I was passing through the crossroads on my way to Glencullen.

Seriously, we need to be keeping score of these. I'm thoroughly dominating at random sightings.

My constant circuits around the city center in search of fame are paying off.

Fish have a wonderful sense of hearing. The jacket looked cool.. so did the bike, what it it?

Let's face it. The odds of not being able to find something like that on the Internet are slim !

That was my pimped-out* Langster, lovely nippy bike.

"pimped-out" meaning covered in insulation tape plus a few other changes
