I reckon that would have been me, this bike, but with one pannier on it.

Dundrum Village, 7:35 or so this evening, heading towards Luas bridge.

Only saw one Boards jersey at the Lance Love-in in the Phoenix Park. It was worn by a certain French lady standing (yes you heard me correctly) standing on a corner as we all passed. Ha Ha

All was explained when I saw the video you were making. Meant to shout "Hi Boardsie, Caroline?" but on the video it came out as "Hi Boardies"

Sorry, wouldn't have called out had I known you were recording it, but anyway I'm there near the end forever immortalised on celluloid digital.:D

Passed Empty (i think!) wearing a boards jersey on the coast road towards dun Laoghaire around half two or so yesterday!

copacetic · 31-08-2009 11:14am

saw a boardsie in jacket and shorts last night passing the golden ball at kilternan. looked to be coming back from wicklow, lights were out and the car pulling out of pub gave you a bit of a heartstopper I think...

Glitterangel76 · 01-09-2009 10:03am

Random spotting of Boards cycling 'shorts' this morning around 8.15 (ish)...by the side of Heuston heading towards town...blue cycling helmet, not sure of bike as cars blocked the view...still shocked I saw the shorts, as I was cycling the other side of the street..oh well

Yes, I have just got it back now, my rear derailleur cable snapped after Seskin on the SK160 so I had to do the rest of it with only two gears! 12T up Powers the Pot on Brian Kenneally's wheel which left my legs a bit tired, thankfully he was not really trying! Fixed it to 15T with the limit screws for Mahon Falls and Mama Road.

I couldn't get the remains of the old cable out so dropped it in to the shop, unfortunately neither could Dave so it required a new shifter... DA shifters are expensive but he put on a second-hand one he had and for a really very decent price indeed, so very happy with that, +1 Joe Daly's again.

Off to do the Raid Pyreneen on Sunday; I had my touring bike as a backup but cycling the two of them back I am very happy I am going to be able to do it on my racer, my tourer is lightweight for a tourer but is probably a good 50% heavier, I would feel it on those climbs!

I'm pretty sure that was me. Howdy!

Anseo! it was me having a chat with spincess

billy.fish · 03-09-2009 9:17pm

Lots of people started out there, myself included, totally worth it!

Saw who I presume was you turning onto Coolmine Road earlier. I was out walking the family mongrel and spotted the boards jersey.

Saturday was good but yesterday was just misreable with the wind and rain. Thought I'd never get back to Mullingar

Timmah! · 09-09-2009 12:23pm

Last night around 6.45, Orwell Park, heading in the Rathgar direction.

Yep, that would probably be me.

Was spotted just before work this morning too by, if I'm correct, irishmotorist on his Focus Cayo. And by spotted I really mean 'overtaken by'.

Now, which excuse should I give.

It was hardly an overtake cos you were slowing to turn right by the looks of things. I could have had you though :pac:

I was going to say that you were flying the boards.ie flag high. Stopped at improbably long red lights at Merrion Gate (like all responsible cyclists should!) and then dusting everybody at the lights and showing them a clean pair of cleats

Hah, thanks... I was slowing to turn left actually, as there's a lip on the path I have to go up so I increase the angle of attack (have come off there before so I go into the middle of the road before turning). When I looked back before moving out I was surprised to see the Cayo there!

Yeah, those lights are something alright. I usually pray for a DART to come along to influence them. Very annoying when heading the opposite way when the lights go red (when filtered ahead) and then immediately turns into a full green. But anyways, that's for another thread

That's defo a pain - I'm cute about it now and just ease up ready to attack again as soon as they change, but ready to stop in case they don't. It's all about timing!

Lady in boards jersey going down Kyber in Phoenix Park about 1745.

was me ... on my fixie. I was bored doing lance laps, so I did half/half counter lance laps too.

rebel.ranter · 09-09-2009 10:52pm

I was just thinking there that it would have been good if each jersey had a number somewhere on them, not prominent but in the right place & size that someone "in the know" would spot it. I know some opted to get their username on them but the number would have been cool too.

I am defo going to order one on the next run (if allowed)!

billy.fish · 09-09-2009 10:53pm

Pretty sure that would require a change each time the jersey was made though...so reset costs each time.

Unless they were stick on type numbers, which last not to long

xz · 11-09-2009 9:09pm

So who is the guilty party that I met ever so briefly outside Dunnes in Cornelscourt? Full Boards gear. Sorry I couldn't stop and introduce myself, but I was in a bit of a hurry...................I told you that I was going to post the sighting:D

AstraMonti · 11-09-2009 10:07pm

Haha that was me xz

and yes I shop with my full boards gear

btw some nice fella stole my rear light while I was in dunnes... ??? What can you say...

Planet X · 12-09-2009 5:56pm

.................sailing through Donnybrook, Friday morning, full Boards clobber, panniers, 8:30am.
Tall guy, you Astramonti?

Dr_Colossus · 12-09-2009 6:36pm

Lady in boards jersey today at around 13:30 sitting on the wall at the Cruagh Rd and Stocking Lane junction. Seemed to have a fancy pair of all white shoes too.

Assos overshoes ftw!!!! Was me, all euro :P ( exept climbing skills )
Did go up to kippure though, it was lovely and hot up there.

Blowfish · 12-09-2009 6:45pm

Spotted one as I was climbing past the 2 lough Bray's at about 2.45. The Boardsie in question was heading the other way, so I didn't get a chance to do anything other than a quick nod.

[edit] Ah, I presume it was Caroline I spotted too

Dr_Colossus · 12-09-2009 6:52pm

Why the overshoes in the warm weather, thought they were only meant for the rain or cold? Didn't venture onto Kippure, came up Stocking Lane and then onto Glencree, Enniskerry and Greystones. Want to save Kippure for tomorrow and go on towards Slieve Maam as haven't been up there yet.

Yes, me going down SG.

PS: they are not overshoes really, they're booties, just lycra, not warm, just for the euro look really... what are you saying, vain? me?

I went down Eglinton Road, turned right onto Donnybrook Road, and then left off Donnybrook Road towards Aylesbury Road at exactly that time - so it may have been me
