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?

Does meeting a boardsie count?

A certain newly-wed on a red specialized whizzed by on the Clontarf cycle path this evening. I gave chase and caught him courtesy of the red lights at the Bull Island causeway. Nice to meet somebody for a change...

Cyclist stops at redlight shocker!

I have to think this was me. First time out on the road bike in AGES. And what a fantastic day for a spin: summer-like weather.

I do take issue with the goatee though: I think you'll find it's the full beard.

I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of guy so it must have been a smile. Yes, must have been...

Moi. I always get confused when people say "heading south". In my head, when you're going towards the mountains you're going "up" and therefore "north". I don't have a problem with directions in general, just that one

Orders are done periodically. Basically someone volunteers to do an order, puts a thread up and then sends off an order when enough people put themselves down for it to make it worthwhile.

It probably should be the responsibility of a mod to organise all of this.

Agreed. With great power, comes great responsibility. So he should be responsible for the next order.

'twas myself. Just about heard you shout 'boardsie', but unfortunately you were a bit too far past me to respond. I was hoping to get you next lap around, but didn't spot you.

Possibly me (although morning, maybe not), I have yet to see another jersey out by these parts, they all seem to live in a big commune in D15.

Orders pretty much go like this: people state interest, one person volunteers to organise (ask LastGasp, ScottReynolds, TinyExplosions what is involved).

To quote batman begins: "They have to be large orders to avoid suspicion". I would say that if you want one, start a new thread and see how many people bite.

That would probably be me or Dirk yes. I commute daily from n11, unfortunately.

D15 probably has a higher population than the entire southside. You can fit many more people in when you don't have to make space for moats, stables, follies and private golf courses.

I cycle the N11 regularly, not the best cycle though (not too familiar with the best routes around south co.dublin). Ive been scouting for a boardsie since but having no luck! :rolleyes:
