Boards Jersey Sightings

LDB · 2008-07-03 12:39:57

Saw a boards jersey this morning around 8:20 time heading towards Seville place/upper sherrif st I think (coming from N circular road) I noticed the speed of the person first, and then the jersey ... whoever you are you were flying! It’s quite cool to spot the jersey out and about. Anyone else had any sightings?

T'was me.

Does anyone else feel the need to cycle at the very least (tempo/climb like a god/sprint like Cav.) [select at least one] when wearing the jersey in case you are spotted

Purchase the Boards.ie padded cycling thong and you don't have you worry about being spotted but still you know you are representing

Could have been you. I just noticed the shorts as I was driving by in the opposite direction. I don't recall the jersey but it wasn't a Boards one.

You wait years for hot boards-on-boards action, and it happens twice in 10 minutes.

I shouted "hey boardsie" at a guy coming out of Willie Nolan Road in Baldoyle. He shouted back the same greeting as I was wearing the same jersey, so I'm sure the cars with open windows thought we were a bit off.

The second was a few minutes later just past Portmarnock hotel. I waved at a boardsie cycling with someone in blue, but I don't think they saw me.

Saw two cyclists in boards jerseys today. One (long sleeved jersey on a yellow Giant) passed us out on Clontarf road and car beeped as he passed me.

Another (back bike with two paniers) passed on the way up the Sutton side of Howth hill. I said hi but don't think it was heard.

Boardsies everywhere today! I missed you it seems was out with my wife who was wearing blue and went from Swords over Howth and back along the coast. Also saw another unknown boardsie in Malahide by Yellow Walls road, as well as C-Daly going up the Village side of Howth, my shout of boardsie as I descended past was much more exuberant than the one he managed on one of the steep sections!

Twas me at 1:15 in Malahide. Had to turn around at Balheary to go back for my pump - doh!

Inquitus - was that you on the the estuary heading east towards Malahide at 1425 ?

Beautiful day for it - 87k before the W200.

Yea I think so. She had an orange jersey on and I had a red one.

Pembily shouted "HI CDALY" but you didn't turn round, concentrating too hard on your time obviously.

We were taking it pretty handy going up, you flew past us.

I had an orange jersey and white road bike, not sure if it was by the golf club. I struggle on hills. Everyone passes me! You said Hi Folks but and I said hi and then as you passed and we twigged you had boards kit on I shouted but you didn't hear.

That was me on the yellow Toyota Giant. I guess the car didn't like me overtaking you two.

Clearly not. Traffic was heavy so he wasn't getting far anyway.
