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.

Weepsie · 03-05-2019 4:28pm

It says they are provided (bikes and gear)

N11 at Stillorgan Park Hotel about 5 today - Boardsie shorts (wasnt staring at your ass - honest!) And white helmet, moving at a fair pace.

Couldn't call out without scaring the hell out of everyone on the 155!

Think I caught him around Cherrywood (only because of lights) and clung to his wheel for dear life to save some energy on the way home! Ironically I ended up more tired! Some pace and it was a single speed! Thanks anyway whoever you are!

If it was a Dolan track bike it was me, the at pace bit makes me doubt it though.

That was me, I presume you were on the Blue disc braked bike. I hadn't meant to drop you in Bray, I was enjoying the short break between Shankhill and the roundabout. Copped your green shorts when you went to the front.

I didn't cop the bike, but they took the right at Oatlands College, and had a fine looking beard.

That was me then, had to stop in Stillorgan to pick something up

He looks a bit like Alex Dowsett pre-shave.

Seen a boards jersey with a Gilet over it this morning, crossing the N11 on the road up past the Leap Inn towards Vodafone.

Hi when and where can you buy boards jerseys

Every once in a while, as in once every few years there'll be a call for orders.

We had 3 or 4 I a 2 year span the last time I think so might be a while yet.

Any update on the next jersey sale?

I could do with another set myself. Current ones are well worn.

Haha no worries I was turning right bottom of town anyway. Yeah those disc brakes and mudguards and heavy bike in general are my excuse for slowness!!

I also ran to work that morning so a short break was all I could offer you! Anyways, enough excuses!

Eamonnator · 12-05-2019 12:02pm

Met two Boardsies this morning.
First one between Garristown and Naul. Boards jersey under an open top. I didn't see the jersey in time to give a shout. He was in a group.
Second one near Roganstown Golf club, gave him a shout out.

Gave a shout to a Boardsie on the Tour de Foothills today. He was wearing the current shorts and jersey with orange arm warmers.

That was me thanks for the shout only third time on the bike in the last year so was a bit of a slog did the 65km route at 24 km average I assume you did the 110

Yes, on the 110 with some clubmates. Getting out throughout the winter really helps at this time of the year but the big test will be the Mick Byrne next weekend.

Mercian Pro spotted at FourKnocks, Co Meath this morning!

Well well well....heading out on my spin last Thursday morning and met a very nice fella, rode together as far as Swords, now I know who you are:D very nice to meet you Mercian Pro!

daragh_ · 21-05-2019 10:25pm

Boards Shorts on Detones (I think) this evening during the Vets race at Doreys. We shared a short and doomed break in the first lap.

Good talking to you too Torres. You are certainly not too old(!) to join a cycling club and I'd strongly recommend Swords if you do decide you want a bit of company. You'd be well able for any of our leisure spins on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Sundays.

Mercian Pro · 27-05-2019 9:45am

No jerseys but two prominent Boardsies, devonp and Wishbone Ash, at the start of the MB200

CramCycle · 27-05-2019 10:01am

Not a jersey sighting but Rubadub sauntered past me without a care in the world this morning on the N11, I was quite jealous of how relaxed he looked as I struggled to turn the pedals.

Skrynesaver · 10-06-2019 7:54am

Reverse report, was sighted at the foot of Slieve Mann y'day by a marshal/mechanic. Couldn't afford to lose any momentum, so I didn't hang on to chat.

Thanks to yourself and all the others, marshalling was excellent on the day.

Weepsie · 15-06-2019 3:52pm

Gave a shout on Stocking Lane at around 2pm today I'd say. I was going down as they were going up so our speeds and required concentration levels were probably very different.

Ironically I was the one who should've been looking ahead a bit more.

devonp · 15-06-2019 8:41pm

prob myself.....spin after a quick trip to work
cheers

Wishbone Ash · 25-06-2019 7:48pm

Green boards shorts (with a red jersey) on the R127 (just north of Blake's Cross) this evening around 6.35/6.40pm.

Wishbone Ash · 26-06-2019 8:22am

Pink jacket spotted this morning at 7.30 southbound on George’s Street on an MTB (long hair and beard).

Wishbone Ash · 29-06-2019 7:30am

Pink jersey on the R127 this morning at 7.10am between Skerries and Lusk. (Triggermortis?)

That was me all right. You were in a silver VW (possibly Golf) that beeped?

We’re you giving out to yourself at time about car drivers beeping at cyclists?

For once I actually wasn’t! I was given plenty of space and so I waved as a thank you. It was only after, I realized I was wearing my boards jersey and was probably passed by another boardsie - usually WA!

arybvtcw0eolkf · 12-07-2019 6:55pm

Spotted just south of Jimmy's bicycle shop in Portmarnock at lunchtime today, I was running in the opposite direction on the opposite side of the road.

Couldn't shout out without frightening the life out of a few aul'wan's leaving mass

Weepsie · 12-07-2019 7:09pm

That was probably me, I was passing that way around 1.15 or so.

That would have been around the time alright, didn't get the make of bike (wish I could say I was running too fast lol) but just caught a glimpse as we passed by each other, but black bike and I'm not sure what the more recent boards.ie gear is but wearing the black gear (bought the same one a few years back).

Anyway, nice day for it but I think I had the wind at my back at that stage so you'd have been cycling into it.

Weepsie · 12-07-2019 10:57pm

Yup Guerciotti Khaybar is the bike. And yes, wind most of the way home from there until I turned back near airport. I avoided it until Baldoyle though

Garzard · 15-07-2019 6:35pm

Reverse sighting - got the call from someone in blue kit roughly 30mins ago on the Templeogue Road just before the bridge heading towards Knockylon.

Apologies for not getting the chance to exchange names / pleasantries, the traffic was all over the place this evening!

Hello again to pink kit Boardsie, spotted in Rathgar and followed all the way to SSG

Fighting Tao · 27-07-2019 8:21pm

Gave a shout out to a boardsie from the car. I was arriving into Clarecastle GAA club and he was leaving. I thought it was WA but not sure.
