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?

I was in the new long sleeved Boards top. Did a nice job keeping me warm on the Slieve Maan and Shay Elliot descents.

Saw someone heading down Cruagh Road today at around 14h00. They then turned onto Tibradden Road. They were wearing Boards jersey and possibly Boards shorts too.

Passed someone on the Templeogue road (near Hollingsworths) wearing a ls boards top (new) on Sunday at around 13:30. Gave a (friendly) beep as I passed.

That was me. S/S with a long sleeve running top underneath. Wondered why someone was beeping at me, battling into the wind about 15k later I realised why.

Thursday evening about 7pm - old jersey, making an illegal exit out of the Chapelizod gate of the Phoenix park. I was running in the opposite direction trying to figure out where I recognised that jersey design from

Guilty as charged, although not strictly illegal as I was using the pedestrian gate. Oops ......I suppose I really should have dismounted. Apologies for bringing shame on the jersey. I'll have to retire it now, and only use it to wash my bike. My only defence is, I was probably still on a high after setting a PR and moving up to 5th on this.

I met few others in disguise but didn't notice any other boards gear - mind you was on my lonesome for most of the last 50k so I didn't see too many other people in any class of gear.

Spotted what I presume is the same lady at 1115 turning right onto the coast at Sutton cross. Black Canyon - didn't shout as too much traffic around.

Meself on the old hybrid, trying to figure out what ROKs climb would be like. I kind of like the loud creaks it makes as they help drown out the creaks my body makes. Really needs stripping down and re-greasing and a lot of TLC. The bike needs some attention too

New jersey & bib tights (maybe shorts with leggings) going over feathered back to Dublin. You stopped at the top and then flew past me soon after.

Nice looking white Planet X. Think you said something going past but I was a whole new world of pain (and cold after the hail stones)

You could have been telling me the 3rd secret of Fatima & I wouldn't have noticed!

That was me. Were you sitting at that counter thingy just to the right of the serving area (as all the tables were taken) in short sleeves?

Lot of motorbikers in there today, I thought they all went to Lynhams.

Stephen's Green at around 6:45 or a little after on Friday riding a single speed, around the Loreto school approaching the Leeson street junction. I was walking in a hurry in the opposite direction to catch a train

Spotted one on Saturday morning (8:30ish am) at Christ Church. He pulled in at Dublinia, looked like he was meeting a mate there. Me was too busy hugging the brakes on the ol' scr to give a proper shout.

Clontarf Cycle Track/Wind Tunnel this evening at 1815 or so - you passed me on Frankenbike with a guy in a yellow top behind me on a road bike. Our little train couldn't keep up with you - you were fairly flying considering the wind. Eventually you turned off at the little roundabout in Baldoyle. - still a great spin home into a strong but steady wind.

Know it's a bit past the sighting, but spotted a jersey a the NRC during the UniChamps/Skib regatta a couple of weeks ago. Can't remember if you were there on the Saturday or the Sunday. Leaning against bike watching the finish with another cyclist. Spotted you first while carrying my boat back and again from the balcony... Never got a chance to say hello!

Jersey this morning outside Glenmalure, near the top of what I think it Slieve Maan. Gave a beep after I passed in a black car. Same person again I think later but with a jacket on, got a nod from you when I came from the opposite direction.

Saw 1 on North East Cycle yesterday between Lough Egish and Castleblayney.Chap with a goatee, English accent I think. He was making a brave stab at it!

South-bound boardsie on a bike with tri-bars, coming down the Malahide Road at the city end just before six yesterday evening.
