Yep 'twas me - beat me to it - I was seriously suffering all morning with a bl00dy headwind the whole way from Rathfarnham to Sally Gap (and a lack of fitness!). Will be feeling this one tomorrow!

I was out in Howth alright but I don't have full kit, I left my "specs" at home, I arrived home before 2pm and I would really hope that there would be a little more awe in any sightings of me. Like, beams of light shooting out of me and I wouldn't be riding a bike, I'd be atop a Unicorn riding a rainbow...

But yeah, it wasn't me.

New LS jersey and shorts heading from carrigaline to airport hill this morning.

Twas me I'd say - no awe required.

Had been hoping for sub-10 on the way up only to read 10:00 exactly. Subequent attempts a bit slower again.

'met Cycle43 en famille tucking into some large ice creams at the shop

Saw one of a pair of riders in new boards gear on Saturday, coming from Johnnie Foxes direction towards Cruagh. Great day out spin.

Time to change my name, but to what?

Hmmm...it seems "El Tonto" is free. Anyone else go by that name? No, didn't think so.

Heading east down the quays past the four courts at about 9:10 this morning. Looking very slick on a black singlespeed(?).

Paul Kiernan · 28-09-2011 9:11pm

Outside the Hippy Cafe in Laragh today about 1:45. Spoke briefly with your companion who complained that you were pushing him too hard:pac:. Cracking day but that wind was something else.

mvt · 28-09-2011 9:52pm

He complains about everything

G rock · 29-09-2011 10:30am

gavin spotted this morning on his lovely shiny new commuter along the canal!

Undercover Elephant · 03-10-2011 9:52am

A brace this morning.

New jersey, 8.45 this morning turning from the Kilbarrack Road onto the coast ahead of me, and he was gone. Then c_daly half an hour later as I was coming back the other way.

That was me. I'd a nice spin out to the coast, but the head wind back home wasn't much fun. The sea looked lovely though.

Saw seamus out on the orwell spin on sunday, also met Dirk (I think, it was loud in cafe:o) and Macken04. Great spin realy enjoyed, think I'll have to join now.

That was me. Was talking to macken too. I was at the back of the group when you guys introduced yourselves to each other. It was like something out of sleepless in Seattle or something

Orwell ? cafe ?? What's going on ? I'll have to tell Dave. I was looking forward to stopping at the Hippy Cafe on Sunday for a couple of hours, but just as I arrived a Minibus towing a trailer load of MTB's had just finished unloading about 20 passengers. Feck it, can't wait for all them ! Stopped in a cafe in Roundwood instead, but it wasn't the same at all at all.

p.s. I was looking forward to it for a couple of hours. I wasn't going to stop for a couple of hours.

Can I quote you on that? I had a run in with a driver in Clonskeagh, he cut across me, I asked him why he didn't yield to the cycle lane and he said, and I am not making this up:

"And you expect me to see you with that little light?"

So he did in fact see the light?

I remember a co worker (I think people used to call him Buck Rogers or Slow Roger on the boards spins) once telling me how a driver pulled him over for not wearing hi vis and that he couldn't see him, and he asked how he knew he was there, the driver pointed out the lights :rolleyes:

trad · 21-10-2011 10:13am

Dirk, it certainly seemed bright to me, very intense non flashing. Mind you it was a dark stretch of road. I gave you a double tap of the horn as you waved me by.

neris · 28-10-2011 10:03pm

Saw new jersey this evening out side the mason hayes & curran offices on Barrow Street in Dublin. Was doing somthing with his bag then cycled off before nearly getting milled out of it by a taxi
