Boards Jersey Sightings

cdaly_

Hardly seen any boards jerseys yet this year. Even my own are lurking in a drawer awaiting the summer.

Dermot Illogical this morning doing his David Gilmour impression flying down the Malahide Road as I struggled manfully up...

Met smacl on the way up to Viewing Point this morning while I was on the St. Tiernan's Saturday spin.

Can't it be both?

Beardo boardsie in a new jersey spotted on the slog from laragh to sally gap half an hour ago.

Also meself, limping home after one too many hills and too much cake at the hippy cafe!

smacl

Boardsie who managed a dramatic disrobe of a high viz to reveal a new boardsie top, descending from the viewing point towards Glengree about an hour ago. Also me Eoin1984 and Dipsomaniac at different points on the Military road.

Ah t'was yourself. A couple of viscous ramps in that run, the cunard back to military road section has to be one of most evil climbs out there. I ended up with my first foray up the wall this year, which did me no good whatsoever. Seriously need to consider dropping some pounds.

That was probably me - I crossed there around that time.

Spotted one going up Howth earlier this evening with a Fuji, tailed for a bit then overtook! Was unaware of your climbing ability so I didn't introduce myself before the climb, keeping anonymous is what I do best with my terrible climbing skills :pac:

That was me also! There's nothing wrong with you climbing skills - when you passed me I thought you had found a turbo boost. I had 80kms done before getting to Howth so I was tiring but I still got a few personal bests there. (I'm not much of a climber )

Ha I'm a bit on the heavy side to be posting any good times going uphill! Horrible headwind on the Sutton side descent aswel, had planned to try and get a top 10 I'll be sure to say hello next time I see ya!

Boardsie in a new jersey cycling through Castle Market/Drury St beside Pygmalion in town today, around 3-3:30 maybe.

The dramatic disrobing sounds like me but was between the sally gap and laragh. Unless someone is copying my style.

Were you going up Sutton side around 5pm or so? Spotted a boardsie in full new kit when going home (was in the car by then with the bike on the back). Might have been you.

That was me yet again - am I being stalked?

Yup - probably me. I did spot a car heading up with a bike on the back.

Nope, my mind was starting to wander a bit at that point. Thought it was later on.

Namelessphil in civvies towing a chariot at speed up Marley hill, passed myself and my youngest pushing our bikes resplendent in high viz and helmets.

Apparently a new jersey spotted cycling by nutgrove shopping centre at around a quarter past twelve today.

On the Rathmore Road (by pass) or in the village. If it's the Rathmore Road, it could be me (heading to and from Rush).

I was on the way to swimming. I have to face that hill every morning with the trailer on the way to my daughter's creche.

I spotted you and I was wishing that mine would just learn to ride the bike and then I won't have to tow her anymore! (She's nearly 4 and has shown reluctant interest in a bike of her own.)

So with all these sightings, has anyone actually managed to catch a Boardsie in the wild? They're slippery feckers. :pac:
