PS I'm going to pre-empt Cormie spotting me today, he beeped as he passed in his Van Tasks.ie van in Blackrock

triggermortis

First time I've seen one today! About 2/3 of the way up the climb from Sutton to Howth I saw someone going down the way. Lots of hair(I think). Around half twelve.
I was probably purple faced at this stage, on a black Cube, (new)Black Sky shorts, Blue top with black arm warmers.

This thread is going to become very quiet when Cookie Monster departs for NZ.

Do you not wash your gear???:pac:

ROK ON

I wore a boards jersey once a few years back. Passed a pub on the way home from work. A bloke outside threw a beer bottle at me after shouting - wanker.
Needless to say I have not worn that jersey ever since nor will I.

Just thought I would share that.

Chips Lovell

Did you fail to wave at him or something?

I met someone in the new jersey approaching the Bottle Tower yesterday evening. I think he said he was DRock, but I could be mistaken!

Are you sure he didn't shout "bike wanker"

Twas I! Was planning on going for a longish post work spin but got beaten by the wind.

sorry if I held you up along the church town road, you just breezed past me!

I spotted a new jersey going through Ashbourne just after 4 today. Didn't have time to give a beep.

Just realised the time, it was yesterday

I wouldn't call it breezing past you I saw you ahead and eventually caught up with you at the lights in Dundrum. I hate being sneakily drafted so after I got behind you, I just went around to take my turn as soon as traffic allowed.

It was a funny cycle home cos my rear derailleur cable snapped earlier on so I was stuck with 3 gears for the cycle home. It actually worked out well for me, time-wise and effort-wise (apart from the cross chaining).

A boardsie passed me on the road climb in "Da Cooley Thriller" yesterday.

I was out with the DublinSocialCycleGroup on Wednesday and spotted someone flying through Terenure at 20:15. Think it was a new kit but all I saw was a blur of black with splashes of pink

That was me First time out in the jersey, even though I have it over a year. Got rained upon for about 20km, so I think it's well and truly christened now.

I kept thinking "don't do anything stupid - that'll be the time you get spotted by another boardsie!" Ashbourne was the tail end of my spin, so I was probably too tired to do something stupid by then.

Thumbs up from Seamus at the lights at the junction of Harrington Street & Harcourt Road this morning at around 0805.

Old jersey at the bottom of hill at the Sutton side of Howth on Sunday morning, about 10.15.

'think I was trying chew an entire pack of Jelly Tots at the time - not necessarily a good idea. More gnashing than confusion really. In case you didn't see the wave, hello again.

Seen a black and pink jersey today, about 5:40, turning onto cork street. Sky shorts, what looked like a Cube attempt but I could be wrong

It's not a red scarf, it's a spiderman buff. Gawd!
