Funnily enough, I'm aware of one boards cyclist who actually does get his hair done at Toni & Guy, but kept very quite about it when all of that slagging was going on.

You should get your money back, cos I never would have guessed it.

Don't mind me, I'm just jealous that yis have enough hair to style

Ah sorry, totally misread that. I just saw an opening to attack and went for it.

In that case, maybe it was you said hi to them. :eek:

Stranger things have happened.

(I take it you were at the IMMA gig last Summer, by the way?)

I was. One of 7 people there who wasn't bikkied off their head. Great gig, but more importantly, a very well made and nicely fitting cycling jersey.

Spotted you passing through Dalkey on Paddy's Day evening alright. Recognised you from forum photos. Should have said hello but it was at the nasty squareabout at the end of the town.

Meant to say: I passed two guys near the bottom of Luggala heading in the direction of Enniskerry last Saturday. One was wearing a Boards jersey and was cycling a flat bar road bike, while the other was in a blue and black jersey and was on a white bike with drop bars. (He also had fluorescent green gloves on - I didn't get the bike models but couldn't miss those!)

That would have been me on the flat bars (Specialized Sirrus) in between breaking my chain twice.

Wasn’t wearing a Boards jersey though, on my first Boards spin that Sat. so haven’t earned the right to don the sacred clothing. We were fairly bombing along that spot so we probably appeared to fuse together in your vision. It was Emty, Blorg and Kenmc in the Boards gear if I remember correctly.

blorg · 28-03-2009 5:15pm

Saw one just now! Headed in to Ranelagh towards town! Drop bars on what looked like something of a classic bike? Red?

MadHatter · 30-03-2009 9:31am

Spotted this morning heading into East Point. Guy in boards jersey and shorts, blue backpack, road bike (dunno what make) with mudgaurds. RogerB again?

You passed me on north quays around IFSC and went down to O2, up towards port and back up East Wall Rd before heading into East Point. I was guy on hybrid with panniers, wearing yellow & black jersey. Followed you the whole way (at a distance) in East Point, tried to catch you to say hello but didn't have the legs!

Spotted stopped (fair play!) at the traffic lights outside pub on East Wall Road heading northbound around 9 this morning. I was beside you (in car). Apologies for no acknowledgement but in truth I was admiring the kit up close. Looks better than than the site shows them too. So if you noticed me I wasn't staring, merely admiring the kit!!!!

(Least ways I presume it was the same bloke!).

mloc123 · 01-04-2009 11:40pm

Spotted somebody in full gear on Monday evening, south quays around 6.30.. on a dawes with mud gaurds. RogerB?

NeilMcEoigheann · 02-04-2009 1:10am

omni present Roger he passed me around 9.00 am at the junction of bride street and patrick street. I called after him but alas he was travelling faster than the speed of sound so my yell didnt make his ears ....

If it was a fred on a full sus, that was me. First time out in the Jersey since I hung it up before winter. Still chilly in the mornings!

I dunno, if I posted all the blorg sightings this would be the longest thread on boards! Saw him last night in boards jersey on the bowery at lambs cross on way back, but seems like every lunchtime or evening in last couple of weeks someone is getting some serious miles in down wickla way!

Gavin · 02-04-2009 1:31pm

Yeah I'm displeased with all these RogerB sightings. I was doing quite good at the start, a highly identifiable yellow bike seems to do the job. I'll have to start doing circuits of Dublin city

02-04-2009 1:43pm

I noticed a yellow bike (and even some yellow tyres) in front of me going along up the grand canal (towards Rathmines from Ranelagh) a few days ago - person on it had glasses, can't remember if they had a helmet or not. Was that you?

Gavin · 02-04-2009 2:02pm

No, not me I'm afraid. Bloody pretenders ripping off my colour.

I was standing outside O'Shea's pub on the quays in D8 on Wednesday 18/03/2009 at about 18:05 and I saw a man wearing a boards jersey bombing past me around the corner and up the hill that is Bridge Street.

Hermy · 03-04-2009 1:02am

I saw one of ye today on Clonliffe Road about half past five.

Sorry lads but ... it was almost certainly me.

Bicyclegadabout · 04-04-2009 5:37pm

I saw two folks in Boards jerseys, with one other person, sitting outside a cafe in Laragh at about midday today.
Then I saw another on the way from Laragh to Sally Gap, though he was coming the opposite way.

In other news, I did my first century today. Probably woulda been easier if I'd went along with the plethora of boards people that were about instead of struggling on my own. ah well.....

biker_joe · 13-04-2009 4:15pm

I know it's a little over a week ago but in the interest of fair and accurate recording of Boards Jersey sightings ((should anyone ever decide to write a thesis on the topic!) I need to mention a sighting at the top of the Bosberg - the final climb in the Tour of Flanders on Saturday April 3rd.

congo_90 · 13-04-2009 8:04pm

Still nice thing to see

lukester · 20-04-2009 10:25am

Yesterday, about 5.00 in Killiney (Vico Rd, overlooking the bay), at an ice-cream van. (€2 for a 99? Negative inflation my ar$e)

I was in the car, with chisler.

copacetic · 20-04-2009 10:36am

spotted a mountain biker in jersey and shorts.
yesterday at about 12, looked to be heading down toward ticknock from lambs cross. Gave the boards triple beep.

ROK ON · 20-04-2009 10:56am

MTB'er cycling in the Enniskerry direction from Ballinastoe y'day morning (may 11am). I was in a group of 2, on a white bike, dressed in black.

tomc · 20-04-2009 11:28am

That wuz me, you woke me out of the Dubliners, hence the puzzled look you probably got. Was coming down past lamb doyles after a spin out though bothar nabreena, SG, Roundwood & Enniskerry - way behind on training for the etape.

Puts hand up.

Yeah I grossly underestimated the amount of food I brought on the spin (coupled with a few wrong turns adding kms) so was delighted to see the ice cream van after coming over Killiney Hill.
Was so famished that I would have paid double. Thanks for the beep, if that was you!

scottreynolds · 20-04-2009 1:24pm

I saw 25 jerseys this morning spread across my floor. 6:53am when the bloody courier arrived with them.
