You it is, keeping a nice steady pace up past the Topaz, I certainly wouldn't be going up that drag so fast.

Hmmm, "fast" is not a term I have heard applied to my cycling abilities - maybe not me after all....

it was relevant, I was driving for a change so everyone on a bike seemed fast.

Probably was Gasco I spotted on Tuesday through Shankill/Bray also.

Green version through Deansgrange heading towards town this morning.

Think a repeat of this at about 8.05 this morning heading north on Harcourt Street. Didn't catch the bike make this time but everything else seems the same enough!

Those are likely to be me.

Nice to bump into rollingscone again yesterday, later in the day when he's a bit more articulate.

Sorry I had to dash off, I only made it to the event with about five minutes to spare in the end though, so glad I did!

Wishbone Ash · 23-09-2018 2:40pm

Green/Pink kit spotted twice today on the GDBR - between Clontarf and Sutton and later at the food stop in Naul.

That was me. It only occurred to me after the food stop to give a name.

I was about 20-30 metres behind you as far as Malahide when I stopped for a nature break.

Then again I was maybe 5-10 metres behind you on the old N2 to Hollystown and you just disappeared into the distance.

Edit: My first Wishbone Ash Sighting, like busses, you wait ages for one, and then 3 in the same day.

Didn't realise it was yourself!

Wishbone Ash · 30-09-2018 4:45pm

Robert Foster in the green bibs on this morning's club ride.

Alanstrainor · 03-10-2018 3:59pm

Passed a boardsie at the Eastpoint entrance this morning, only managed a passing hello!

That was myself. I was in a bit of a daydream at the time hence the late reply and the reason I ended up at caught at that junction instead of leaving the cycle track earlier!

Rogue-Trooper · 04-10-2018 10:41am

Passed a striped Boardsie at an ungodly hour this morning on Clontarf cycle path. It was dark but my money is on rollingscone on a pre-work leg-loosener to Howth.

Yep. Sorry. Apparently my English listening comprehension needs work

rollingscone · 11-10-2018 9:18am

Pink and black kit with white Helmet southbound on Clanbrassil st at about 0825 this morning.

Gave a shout and a wave but don't think it made it across the traffic noise.

At Leonard's Corner?

I thought I heard a faint shout alright but couldn't see where it came from so I just gave a delayed 'neutral' wave of my hand.

T'was

I've finally joined the WA spotting club!

Alek · 11-10-2018 9:18pm

Not the most expected sight when cycling kids to school through streets broad and narrow, yet full pink kit has been spotted and acknowledged at 8:40, Leinster Road, D6.

Obviously it was no one else but Sir WA himself.

Wishbone Ash · 14-10-2018 4:26pm

I gave a shout to a Boardsie in the green jersey in Howth village today at 1.05pm.

magicbastarder · 08-12-2018 6:43pm

was that someone in a pink and black boards jersey i saw at about 2pm, on a white fixie on collins avenue today?

Guilty as charged (and fighting that bloody headwind!).

I didn't see you. Were you on a bike?

magicbastarder · 08-12-2018 11:10pm

nope, i was in a car cos i was on my way to the woodturning. won a bottle of champagne, a bottle of wine, a bottle of vodka, and several pieces of an old door frame in the christmas raffle.

Mercian Pro · 27-12-2018 10:45pm

Double mutual sighting:)

Great jerseys. Great product placement too.

Only because all our regular coffee stops in the area were closed

magicbastarder · 28-12-2018 11:11am

i'm just imagining a pulp fiction style conversation between them as they cycle now.
'you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in roubaix?'

triggermortis · 31-12-2018 8:34pm

Pink Boards jersey spotted around 10.50am this morning close to Blakes Cross. I was in a car and the mrs was driving so couldn't beep.

droidus · 11-01-2019 12:47pm

Not a Jersey sighting, but I did bump into (not literally) Mercian pro on the commute this morning. Lovely chap.

Good talking to you too droidus. Your cool bike really caught my eye. The combination of the Alfine hub, belt drive and disk brakes looks quite minimalist without going to the extreme of a fixie. Seems like a great combination for a commuter bike.

Couldn't wear cycling gear as I was on an exam board in UCD. Not sure if all the candidates would agree with your last comment 😊

droidus · 11-01-2019 11:58pm

Yeah, it is (IMO) the perfect commuter bike, and yet there you are on a beat up cannondale and 140km in your legs leaving me in the dust after every light!

Weepsie · 20-03-2019 9:47pm

Wishbone Ash this evening as I was selling him another Boards top!!

neris · 01-04-2019 11:56am

ZZ top look a like in pink & green jersey under a yellow gilet yesterday at Sutton Cross about 2:30

Dipsomaniac · 01-04-2019 4:49pm

Pink Jersey on Ballyboden road around 8ish this morning

CramCycle · 02-04-2019 9:02am

Seen a pink/black jersey crossing the N11 near Stillorgan yesterday evening, on what looked like the most comfy commuter bike in history

seamus · 02-04-2019 9:04am

^^
Both could have been me. MTB shorts & single pannier?

And it's a pretty comfy commuter alright, that's my tank.

Yep, silver mudguards and MTB shorts. I waved and then thought, that person doesn't know me, better stop. I also look creepy when I wave as its done with too much enthusiasm.

Eamonnator · 17-04-2019 1:33pm

At about 11.30am this morning, I gave a shout out to a Boardsie on the Garristown- Naul road. I was heading towards Naul.

Miklos · 17-04-2019 2:06pm

Not a jersey spotting but I ran into lennymc on his lovely new Cannondale at the Coombes Connor Memorial on Sunday.

That was some shout - I'd say the loudest I've ever had!

Years of practice!

Top of old long hill this morning. I couldn't wave, I was too busy winning the Shay Elliott coffee sprint!!

Possibly me, black and pink jersey,red shoes?

Plastik · 21-04-2019 1:09pm

Yeah, the black and pink jersey.

Alanstrainor · 02-05-2019 11:23am

I'm almost certain I saw a boardsie on the Clontarf/Howth cycle track up around Baldoyle at 5:15pm yesteray. They were heading southbound, as I was heading north.

My Strava tells me it was Wishbone Ash (which is always likely anyway)

Yes, that was myself. Another cyclist overtook me very closely which startled me a bit just as you shouted.

(Someone gave me a shout just a few minutes before that - possibly cdaly?)
