I just opened my long-sleeve packet yesterday. Are the sleeves meant to be loose? All the other long sleeves I have are skintight.

Edit: No foreskin jokes please.

i have a XS Long sleeve jersey and the sleeve are indeed loose.

Is there a special beep? If so what is it?

Standard honk for a Boards sighting...

Thought it was just me with my puny arm muscles. They are quite baggy.

If I took the jersey to a clothes alteration place would they be able to do anything with it? I suspect they don't deal with bicycle jerseys much.

full boardsie gear @12ish this morning coming around a narrow corner between blessington and sally gap region. I gave a great big wave but I was in Orwell gear so probably just looked like a lunatic

Idleater · 28-09-2009 1:23pm

Saw a Jersey heading into Balinastoe wood yesterday morning about 10:00. White (ish) bike if I remember correctly but there was a group.

Hello to you too.

Whoever I saw was on a dark coloured bike. I was wearing black and nodded hello.

Couldn't have been me - acid green olmo steel frame - to go with my dancing days.

I was doing laps on the lance loop though - last week and saw another boardie
and we both pointer to our jerseys and punched the air. - Was that you Tom ?

Saw somebody climbing Glasnevin Hill just now (10:30) on a.... bike.

I was coming off Ballymun road at Met Eireann on a Giant hybrid. Shouted but I don't think he noticed me...

If it was a white Specialized Langster, it was me. I did see someone there at Met Eireann but I didn't hear anything.

Finally spotted!!

cdaly_ · 29-09-2009 5:31pm

Woo! Two in the one day...

Got a nod from somebody on the Clontarf psycho-path around Bayside. I was in red gloves, yellow top on the aerobars chasing the feller in the green An Post jersey who whizzed by me when I was already flat-out in a tailwind.

Barely managed to twitch a nod back...

That was possibly me; there were at least two An Post jerseys out that direction... or possibly the same guy doing very fast circuits?

Think I may have seen Lumen in disguise at the junction of Patrick st and Upper Kevin st near Patrick's cathedral???

Probably, that's my route and there aren't many red Planet-X's around. I have not yet felt myself worthy of a boards jersey.

Saw someone on Monday evening going through Templeogue Villege (citybound) around 6.10pm?

Could have been me, I was going through at that time on my way home from Cork.

Titanium racer with a bag on the back:

seamus · 30-09-2009 9:42am

Yeah, pretty sure that's the one I remember thinking how well stocked you looked.

Hermy · 30-09-2009 10:06pm

Think I passed blorg with spare wheel in tow driving through Goatstown on Wednesday afternoon.

That would have been me all right, DT Swiss wheelbag on a green fixed Tricross.

Hermy · 30-09-2009 11:12pm

Yep, twas the wheel bag that caught my attention blorg.

theclimber · 01-10-2009 8:57pm

That was me. I work in Finglas Village and had to go over to our other office in town. That's twice I got spotted on that journey.

humbert · 02-10-2009 10:40am

Saw somebody on the Morehampton road around 9am today in black tights. I was turning right so didn't get very close.

Robertd_07 · 02-10-2009 10:49am

Do shorts count?
If so, Phoenix Park, passing the polo grounds, 7:15 or so last night, heading for town.
Same guy on Wednesday morning at the juction of Queen Street and Ellis Quay.

saw the full peleton boardsie coming up toward the m50 bridge on the way to lambs cross this morning at about 10.20. gave the boards beep. fair dues to you all, wasn't a great morning for it..

DirkVoodoo · 03-10-2009 1:31pm

Were you in a BMW 3 series?

copacetic · 03-10-2009 1:32pm

Where were you when we needed a lift back from the gap!!!

It was not nice weather at all. Good beeping though, definitely able to distinguish between the friendly "pip-pip" and the angry honk.

happy_acid_face · 05-10-2009 12:11am

Saw a boards jersey today on the coast road in Clontarf at about six-ish.

Another possible was a guy on a Planet X bike at around the same time...

The tax man · 05-10-2009 9:55pm

Sighting around 6.30pm on Ballycullen rd(Scholarstown end) coming up the outside of traffic.

"Overtaking" is the correct word

. Twas me, dying because my bag weighed a tonne and I'm still not 100% used to the new bike.

Doctor Bob · 08-10-2009 8:54am

9:30 am, stopped at the lights beside Liberty Hall, heading east on the north quays, looking very streamlined on a Dawes road bike and wearing wrap around shades.

I don't know what the greeting protocol is when one doesn't have a horn to beep-beep, so I cracked a (barely perceptible?) smile and kept walking.

ROK ON · 08-10-2009 5:40pm

Boardsie with Planet X. Could be almost anybody.

copacetic · 08-10-2009 6:34pm

Commuting on a crabon bike. What a Fred! :pac:

velo.2010 · 08-10-2009 6:45pm

The guy on the PX in the park was probably wishing he had the Madone that passed him!

p.s. Only joking, I told him it was a nice bike. Many years of enjoyment to him.

unionman · 10-10-2009 11:19am

Spotted a boardsie in Rialto early this morning. Gave the beeps (three friendly short pips right?) and got a wave, realised it was niceonetom. Caught up with him at the lights and we had a chat*

As we did el tonto rolled past, head down covered in yellow Assos looking determined. Said goodbye to tom and saw Emty heading up the same way (Dundrum Luas bridge presumably). Didn't manage the beep but I'm pretty sure he spotted me.

Hope you're all having a good one out there.

*Seriously tom, it is NOT a 4x4!!:rolleyes:

JacksonHeightsOwn · 10-10-2009 1:39pm

saw one on clanbrassil street, this morning about 9.30, cycling a bianchi

i was sporting my fiat Doblo, the ultimate pimp mobile

irishmotorist · 10-10-2009 9:47pm

I saw a boardsie with a training jacket/long sleeved jersey on Friday evening heading out the Rock Road. Twas past Blackrock and at the junction near Seapoint Ave, just before Monkstown. I was 2 cars back, gave 3 pips and am pretty sure I was ignored

It was a Focus Cayo (nice bike, btw

) and that got me thinking - could that be Neiztchenannanzzaschhzzhan with winter clothes on?

Bikerbhoy · 10-10-2009 9:56pm

3 Boardsies spotted in Rathfarnham today bout 3.30pm one on a Bianchi ..... make urselves know please.

Bah, that was me, sorry. I remember hearing the beep, but I only heard 2, so didn't think it was a Boarsie beep

DirkVoodoo · 11-10-2009 2:19am

Saw Neill in Dundrum on his new fixie, looks good dude. Sorry for not chatting more, I had a few brews on me and needed to get to bed.

Well, I was 2 cars back and it was more of a bip-beepbeep. I'll have to improve my technique!

'twas me! Sighted after only a month in the gear! I was out for a "swifty fifty" before dinner!

The beep was spot on and it was nice to get the encourgement. Went as far as Kilmoon Cross then headed back the "lumpy" way over Alpe d'Bellewstown:)
