    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.

    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 😊

    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!

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

    ^^
    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.

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

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

    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?)

    I gave you a shout when we had (unaccountably) stopped at the Wooden Bridge traffic light...

    150 cyclists needed as extras for 1998 Tour de France movie in Dublin - I'll throw my chapeau in the ring anyway

    i am curious about how anal they'll be about people turning up on period-specific bikes. and if they'll be doling out team kit to the extras, who presumably would want to keep them.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,467 Mod ✭✭✭✭Weepsie


    It says they are provided (bikes and gear)
