    If I see you I will hop off the bike, run to you, hug you and squeeze your ass cheeks before leaving you alone in the unfriendly roads. You either do it correct or you don't do it at all.

    You do that to everyone. And you never write or call afterwards.

    As an Orwellian, when on the bike I don't acknowledge anyone with a qualification less than a PhD

    Huzzah, they called me stupid, they told me this day would never come.

    Finally, my PhD will have some value. Four years of felling trees and digging up their roots is finally paying off.

    It's all coming up Yi Harr.

    Mad, didn't know Laird Hamilton cycled, obviously suits him, he doesn't look 46. (second from the right, dark cap), epic surfer and a really nice fella!

    Funny you should mention that. Spent Wednesday and Thursday in a mini digger (for the good of science).

    Still though, if it means people will say hello to me whilst cycling it's a win win situation.

    He calls it giving the other rider a heads up. I think the freds could at least say "on the right" if hello is too much.

    His speech is faltering and his eyes show fear. I suspect he is making that video under duress, with some fella in a full-face helmet out of shot threatening to whack him with a bicycle pump if he veers from the script, while muttering "Let's just love each other. WHY CAN'T WE FECKIN' LOVE EACH OTHER!".

    It's certainly an interesting team. Another slightly unusual member is the guy from Rage Against The Machine on the far left of the photo. There was a good article in Cycling Plus (I think) about it last year - can't find it online but this article gives an overview. Sounds like they were a strong bunch.

    Well, thanks to markcroninbsc and doozerie what started off as a troll thread ended up as an education. Well done lads. (and oflahero and TinyExplosions made me laugh).

    While I won't tar every Orwellian with the same brush, there's at least one rude ****er who's muttered curses under his breath at me as I've passed him.


    Lots of them said hi to me today on their way down from Glencree :)

    The OP should be made aware of the fact that these guys he has been referring to were probably 'training',and focused on the task in hand, or upper/middle class types who only know how to do the royal wave,which to be honest is best not to do whilst climbing, or just simply ignorant. This 'problem' is not exclusive to Orwell, but it being the club with the largest membership in the country,odds are,there are MORE of the aforementioned types ;)
    And for the culchie bashing members,enjoy your Randonee that is mostly outside the Pale next weekend :)

    "Unfortunately Team Surfing USA was knocked out of the race when Winn was hit by a rival team's support van. "That was the only way they were going to stop us--by crashing into us," says Hamilton"

    See, that's the way to treat surfers and GAA players when you see them out on the bike. OP should count himself lucky that Orwellians didn't elbow him into the nearest hedge.

    Returning home from 3-Rock today on the mountain bike, covered in muck and (even worse) wearing an Epic Club jersey when I saw a chap in an Orwell jersey cycling up Rathmichael Rd in my direction. Let's find out I thought to myself so I said a quick "howya" and got a wave, a smile and a "Hi there" in reply ...... lovely guys those Orwell Wheelers!

    Most people when they pass you comming the opposite direction will give you a nod, wink or a wave. I usually nod and wink ;) like that.



    Jaysus,, hard to spot a wink coming the opposite direction !!


    Must check to see with the next Orwelllians ..........
