    Good to meet you Git101, my legs still aren't right.

    Saw a few other boardsies around, including one who flew by me on the boulders coming down from the Spink run. Just about managed to say "boardsie" to him. I had wanted to finish the sentence with "You sir, are an absolute lunatic" but by the time I had managed to get enough oxygen into my lungs he had vaulted clear of a boulder the size of a bus and sprinted off into the distance

    Good to put a face to the name. Yeah, I'm still tired, managed to cycle home from work yesterday, thank god for a tail wind :D

    Definitely wasn't me on the Spink, my little hairy legs were daintily tip-toeing through the boulders..

    I caught up with someone in my way down the Spink and I was thinking 'brilliant, I must be fast', only to disover the guy was hobbling after turning his ankle. Poor fella looked to be a bit wrecked.

    the mad thing is he went on his bike after the spink run and continued.....fair play. I am not sure, but I think its the guy from one of the UK tri-clubs that completed the sport option in 5hrs.

    May well have been me. I was concentrating too hard on not splitting myself to reply on that section.

    Yeah, that was where most of my concentration was going as well, or at least that is my excuse for being so slow.

    One of the guys following me took a big fall, turned around to see him picking himself up from the bottom of a large boulder at the very end of that run (just at the start of the sandy bit) Didn't see him fall, but certainly heard the sound of meat-on-rock. Made sure he was ok and then headed off, didn't see him again though.

    Saw what looke suspiciously like a Boards jersey on The Simpsons last night when they were in Ireland. The wearer was on his bike outside O'Flanagan's Pub arguing with some fat, bald, middle aged, yellow American guy. Anyone here?

    I shouted "Boardsie" at the telly but he just cycled off and it cut to the ads.

    Spotted a Boards jersey at the junction of Castleknock Rd. and Main Street in Blanchardstown (opposite The Bell pub) at 8:45 this morning. Was thinking of a greeting, but thought shouting 'Boardsie!' across a busy junction might make me look slightly mad.

    Saw a nice Bianchi on the commute too going through Blanch.

    Hah ! Finally, I'm getting back in the rankings! I was on the road bike this morning as I felt I needed gears to nurse my pansyness, so no blindingly yellow bike.

    Ah yes, I've seen the flash of yellow pass through Castleknock a few times, didn't make the Boards connection before though.

    At least I've got the greeting sorted for next time: "Hi Gavin! Yes, you Gavin, from Boards! How's the pansyness going" :)

    It may have been me. I turned left off Phibsboro Road onto Whitworth Road around that time.

    Was he cycling a black bike (Drop Bars) with panniers and ridiculously handsome looking.

    The Tax Man, I think (boards jersey) followed by Caroline_IE, I think (pink jersey) today at about 13.40 coming down from Sally Gap near the car park overlooking Lough Bray. Gave a shout but maybe too late.:)

    I thought I heard you shout something alright, was more worried about the car behind me at the time though.

    10am on the Enniskerry->Glencree road this morning? One boards.ie jersey, one yellow rainjacket.

    I had camped out in Curtlestown woods the previous night, and was sitting reading my Graeme Obree book at the entrance while waiting for some friends to arrive for a hike. About three quarters of the passing cyclists gave me a wave. :)

    Not a jersey sighting but possible Boardsie sighting.

    Did I see Captain Havoc descending by the Glenmacnass waterfall heading for Laragh as I was heading up at about 2pm today?

    If it wasn't you, you have a double out there, and sorry to the guy I said "Hi Captain Havoc" to.:)

    Wasn't me I'm afraid. That's a scary thought, more than one of me, the roads of Ireland are dangerous enough with just one of me.

    I thought that might have been you all right, you were looking solid and in control, I waved from but not getting off the drops! Was going too fast to stop I'm afraid, I have been doing that descent with no brakes the last few times. 110km Wicklow Gap and around the lakes today.

    Spotted a Boardsie this morning, about 11:30 heading up the hill from Kilmacanogue towards Enniskerry. I was in a red jersey also heading up the hill...

    Then spotted a second one in Laragh heading towards the Wicklow Gap, about 4-4:30pm when I was on an ice-cream stop.

    Might have passed a Boards jersey on the N81 today about 3-ish. Heading to Brittas?

    I was looking for an alternative route to Bohernabreena but instead went up Tallaght Hill (My new favourite climb BTW). Must average 10% for 2 km.

    Various Boardsies have volunteered over the last few years to organise and co-ordinate 6 seperate orders for Boards branded kit. The original artwork charge was sponsored, but other than that Boardsies have bought their own kit. The first 5 orders all stuck with the original kit design by TinyExplosions. The most recent order is to a new design, and has just been placed (by CramCycle) and we're all eagerly awaiting our new gear.

    No team, just a jersey for members of the forum. Latest order with new and old designs just closed. They come up second hand occasionally.
