    1. Spoke to someone in Boards jersey before start of the Orwell Randonee.
    2. Spotted a few Boardsies together before the start
    3. Girl in Boards shorts and black top ahead of me on "The Wall" (Caroline?)
    4. Brief chat with lafors at the drink stop at Luggala (nice guy)
    5. Cycled the descent from Sally Gap to Greenane with Chakattack
    6. Couple of people in the foof stop in Boards shorts and Orwell top at food stop. Sorry not to chat but I was cramping up at that stage and was honestly more interested in food and Coke.

    Great day-well done Orwell

    New Kit in the Phoenix Park on Saturday. Probably niceonetom on account of the excellent pink cap. Warming up for the win on Sunday no doubt.

    I was wearing the Boards short and Black Jersey alright, and I am indeed a girl, but can't have been on the wall ... (cough*cough*I skipped it )

    I was tempted to post that it couldn't have been you, but I reckoned that might not be polite! :p

    With hindsight it maybe was back towards the waterfall what with me being only semi concious on the wall. Sorry to have your secret revealed:o

    Came across my 1st ever boards jersey on the rock road this morning about 08:00. Not sure if it was a new or old type. Rider had a bit of a beard. Passed him just as the light went green at Booterstown ave but he passed me again near Merrion gates as our paths diverged..

    That might have been me. Don't usually take my 'proper' bike to work but I'm planning on going the long way home. Were you on a Fixie with a Brooks Saddle? Was hoping you would overtake me again so I could hide from the wind :D

    Yes. Single speed, not fixie. On my morning commute. Cabinteely to Airport. It was windy all right but at least if it stays NW I will get home easy enough. Rock Road very quiet these days due to summer holidays and recession. Perfect for cycling..

    Missed Connections

    You: Looking lovely in lycra, gave me a seductive wave.
    Me: On my way to a truffle hunting session.

    Unfortunately our paths differed but there was no mistaking the look in your eye. Call me and lets take up where we left off.






    Ahem... px with new boards kit on the kilternan road.

    My first real life Boards Jersey sighting!!!! :)

    this morning, driving to work.........at approx. 8:30.
    On a busy Common Street in the IFSC, (the road between Jury's and CitiBank).
    You were trying to sqeeze through the two lines of traffic, I was in the Black Mini Cooper (my girlfriends :o) in your way :D
    I didnt catch what bike you were on, it could have been black or dark coloured.

    Anyway, stay safe.......and most importantly, stay sexy.

    That was most likely my black and white Focus. That road is always jammed with car traffic in the morning, 'tis fun trying to filter! :)

    PS How can I not be sexy in boards.ie gear? ;)

    Well identified sir! ;)

    I reckon I saw Seamus in a new style jersey, hi-vis backpack, speeding away down Eden Quay around 08.30 as I waited at the junction with Lumen.

    PS overtaking? I don't know if your gracious yielding counts as me overtaking. :)

    I was on a mission to take advantage of the wind and post a record inward-commute time. I did. It if wasn't for the bloody traffic lights I reckon I could do the run in 20 minutes.

    I was going to give you a hearty slap on the arse as you went by, but you looked a bit grim in the rain so I decided to leave it until next time.

    Probably me - white helmet?
    Soaked to the skin at that stage! Think the rain had eased off though

    Yep, 'twas me alright. More than halfway home (leixlip-dundrum) at that stage and the rain had eased off, so was happy enough.
    Were you on a bike? or car?

    ha ha - my normal commute is 8kms - I wouldn't don the lycra for that! Once a week I've the trek to Leixlip - the pannier has a laptop, full change of clothes and a towel, so the lycra comes out for that one
