    Passed a guy at newhall cross this morning at 850. I was in a white van and beeped. I think I met the same guy at the same spot a few weeks ago.

    Good to meet Paul Kiernan and his young lad (in full Astana gear) at Sally Gap cross roads today. Nice bike-Planet X of course! Not as good as my Trek though:D

    Anyway good ride today, Sally Gap x3 times from Kilbride side aided slightly by a favourable wind.

    Yeah, good to meet you too, Velo. No boards jerseys but once we started talking about Planet-X it was obvious we were both boardsies:)!

    My young fella, Matthew, got the Astana gear for his birthday but he really needs a "real" bike. After Velo.2010 left, he said, "why do I have to ride a bike with flowers on it?" (his Mum's hybrid):o. Anyway, frame and fork arriving today, 105 gruppo came yesterday, so not too long now! It's really my winter bike/light tourer, but if the truth be told, the frame is a bit on the small side for me;).

    Must be brilliant to be spotted in a jersey that you've designed yourself....

    It is! Sadly the new kit didn't make me any faster. Back to the drawing board.

    Passed by a boardsie yesterday on the hill out of Tallaght towards Blessington (and again when he was on the way back). Shouted boardsie and got a wave from him.
    Myself and mate (Sean Kelly jersey and FDJ kit ) were on our way to Waterford which is our excuse for not keeping up!! (160k in just over 7hrs with massive headwinds at times.)

    That was me, first time wearing the new kit. That was a good cycle you and your mate did with the wind. Only had the morning free yesterday so only got 70k in.

    That was me with 5 mates from Naas CC on our weekly Sunday morning spin. We had just done a lap around Blessington reservoir and were about to hammer it back to Naas. :D

    Looked like Jawgap in his new jersey at 7:11 this morning approaching Blakes Cross from Lusk (changing your route to get spotted are you Jawgap?;))

    The jersey was in the process of getting washed thanks to this glorious Irish weather

    Saw someone in the (rather cool) new Boards gear on the cycle lane at Bayside yesterday ca. 1720. I was on my 13th mile of a hilly LSR so excuse the lack of acknowledgment!
