    Old boards jersey coming out of enniskerry heading toward stepaside as I was heading in late on saturday morning. I gave a slightly over enthusiastic "boardsie" yell.

    If that heading was back to town that could have been me suffering on a black Dolan. Was that a motor on your rear hub or one of those measuring yokes?

    Sure was, did Laragh then Wicklow Gap feeling incredibly strong (i.e. tailwind), but coming back Blessington side of Sally Gap had to pay the piper and came the closest yet to losing my lunch through exertion.

    I was dressed in black and on my way to a funeral (no word of a lie) on Sunday - saw guy in new Boardies kit cycling towards me, on the road to Hazelhatch from Newcastle, gave a wave, but he was too much in the zone to wave back.:D

    T'was I. I thought I recognised one or two of you from Swords races alright. The wind was serious - I was in the small ring on the drops by the time I reached Kilbarrack. Thankfully the hill in Howth was much more sheltered.

    Yeah guy at the front and myself at the back raced in swords last wednesday alright. Was on the way out two hours before you. Bloody hard work alright, I was glad to be heading back towards town at that stage.

    Passed jimm this afternoon somewhere between Sally gap and Laragh. No idea what time it was, just focussing on fighting the headwind. Great tailwind on the way back though. Averaged over 30km/h from Laragh to Firhouse :D

    13.43 Garmin time, to be precise. Yeah, I thought it was you Seamus in the new jersey but just had time to say "Hiya Boards" as we passed. I was wind assisted as you were heading into the teeth of a gale. I had the head wind all the way to Laragh up and over the Wicklow Gap from the Blessington side, so was glad to get some relief on the homeward leg.

    Wind was a killer all right. Practically came to a stop approaching the top of the Sally Gap. Hit 84kph on the way back near Ballinastoe.

    Spotted a Boards.ie jersey as he overtook me going up windgates this morning. Then leaving Shankill, he was a bit in front of me and had one of those moments where you stop, get your left foot unclipped but the bike has already begun to sway to the right so you frantically try to get your right foot unclipped before you hit the ground.

    I did stop to see if he was ok and he said he was fine so I took off. I felt bad for having a smile to myself at the "bambi on ice" motion of the fall but only cos it's happened to me on so many occassions and I always wondered how it looked to someone else.

    Then I get in to work and one of the pockets on the bag is unzipped and my wallet is gone. Mustn't have zipped it before I left and the wallet must have bounced out (someone found my mastercard but no wallet in the Donnybrook cycle lane).

    So that'll teach me, don't ever smile at other people's misfortune.

    The rule is that these things only happen at the worst time. On Monday I was passed by a guy clearly out training, and I caught up with him at the next set of lights, me going left, him going straight. When the light went green, I went to clip in my right foot, but the cleat didn't engage and my foot went flying downwards towards the ground. Didn't wobble or fall, but it's one of those times where you know you look like a complete fred. It hadn't happened before that for longer than I can remember. Typical.

    Last Sunday in Laragh at the cafe around 9.30. Hopped back on the bike trying to look slick and suave in front of two very attractive ladies who had just pulled in. Cleat slips, clunk, crunch, slip. Manage to get it back in, find I'm stuck in the big ring facing the wrong way up a hill. Wobbled slowly away looking like an even bigger dork them I actually am. :o

    Was me on my way to a race. I am allowed going the wrong way, because I can cycle properly.
