    Old jersey 12.20pmish today on the Maynooth-Celbridge road. On an MTB.

    That was me, finishing my circuit of Castletown House, Royal canal towpath and a lap of Carton House.

    Cycling down the Ballyfermot road this morning spotted you just before the civic centre. I was standing at the bus stop wondering why I'd never seen a boards jersey in the mornings before then remembered when I have my bike I leave the house 30 minutes later than when I'm stuck on the peasent mobile :(

    I was going to wave or shout but the effort involved seemed too great!

    Possibly me - especially if there was a flappy yellow gillet involved

    There was indeed. Nice to see you don't use that ridiculous excuse for a cycle lane from the garage down to the civic centre either. :)

    I've only recently started using this route so am still getting used to the ins and outs of it. Is that lane the one up on the path?

    I saw jimm today! And he reminded me that he saw me many moons ago on D'Olier St, where he made my day with a "have a nice day boardsie" sign. What a gent!

    Still have my sign. I keep a more personalised version of it in the car now which reads "Hi Boardsie, you have been spotted by jimm. Have a nice spin"

    Nice to meet you too buffalo and well done on your Hill Climb placing. Savage climb, but I loved it.

    Reverse sighting of Needmoregears who gave me a hearty 'Boardsie' wave on New Wapping Street at around half 5 this evening.

    Old jersey this evening at 18:10ish or thereabouts in where Rathgar road meets Terenure road meets Orwell road meets Highfield road. You were turning left onto Terenure road, I was waiting at the lights on Rathgar road.

    Shouted Hi to a Boardsie on Eden Quay on Sat. last at around 3.20pm.

    I was in Hi-Vis jacket waiting to cross at the new bridge works.

    That was me :) Will the new bridge works fix the road along Eden Quay too? It's always been rough along there ;)

    Probably, but you will also have new Luas tracks to cross at Marlborough St. junction.

    To be fair you were the only one wearing a boards jersey.

    My wife (short lady, loads of curly hair) tells me she shouted a 'hi boardsie' to a new jersey, Sandyford area yesterday afternoon.

    Portmarnock Strand, new jersey, 10.30 this morning heading towards Sutton. I was going the other way with the little one on the back. Don't think you saw me.

    Also cdaly_ on Thursday evening, with a mountain rescue searchlight on the helmet. Impressive.

    Sorry I didn't say hello (I'm blaming sun in my eyes - not an excuse I got to use much this year). Loads of people out today. Might be one of the last days where shorts are comfortable (hopefully not!)

    Spotted someone in the old jersey passing St. Margaret's GAA club today at about 15:25. I waved, but something in the field had your attention, so I gave a double beep too.

    I was cycling on the Sandyford road late Sat afternoon, but didn't notice anyone fitting the above description hollering at me. So it could have been me, in which case it would be my first time being spotted, but maybe not.

    That'd be me: can't remember what was in the field although I do sometimes look around around just to remind myself that cycling isn't just about being on a bike but also about being outside. (I did hear the beep btw: thanks.)

    Could have been me, it would have been after 1pm I think, wearing the new jersey.

    Boardsie spotted in malahide at 2:15 today. It was quite cold out there with the wind. I'd guess that those legs and face are not normally so red!!!

    I was out for my lunch time run today and a boardsie in one of the old jerseys cycled past me. Whitworth Road (Drumcondra, Dublin) around 12.50pm. Hello!
