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?

I was in a white van and beeped, don't think you saw me.

:eek: Typical WVM behaviour! Hooting at cyclists and then claiming that the cyclist was at fault for not seeing them.

Old jersey out around Ladychapel and Donadea this morning, think you may have gotten stuck behind a rather large group (60+) we had out training for Maynooth Students for Charity

No amphibology here.

There's a very succinct difference between New jersey and New Jersey

So there's a terse or concise difference? Each to their own. I'd have gone for distinct.

I saw a new Jersey in BeeCycles yesterday. Holyboy wasn't wearing it. (He was too busy laughing at the state of my chain).
I also met Crow92 and his spectacular roadrash.

Sorry about that! No doubt I'm setting myself up for a fall in the future.

Might have been me. Were you there for my epic altercation with the angry young chap on the bike shaped object?

True, I was being lazy there - I should have at least hacked the quote to capitalise the "j" :o:o

Finally! It took years but this week as I was cycling across North Boston, someone commented on my boards jersey. About time someone noticed it, it's one of the original ones so I'm not sure it has another winter left in it!

This morning, at 8:50 or shortly after, at the junction of Waterloo Road - Pembroke Road - Upper Baggot Street, stopped at the lights (!) on a navy Charge Plug (?). 99% sure it was daragh.

I've seen you often enough on the Merrion Road to city centre drag, but never got as close as today, when I was sitting on your wheel from the Waterloo lights to the end of Wilton Terrace where I turned off up the canal towards Leeson Street. (You may have seen my shadow, um, shadowing yours on the ground, as the sun was right behind us.)

If there was an ominous creaking sound coming from the bottom bracket than it was me.

I did hear some creaking alright. Glad to hear it was coming from the bike rather than the knees.

It's been like that for weeks. Every weekend I promise myself I'll fix it. Every weekend I forget. The chain also needs replacing, the seatpost is seized and yes, I also need new knees

Should have posted it up sooner, but I spotted a boards jersey on Sunday afternoon, just at the start of the Rathmines road about to cross the canal, heading in towards town, I was beside you in traffic on my fixie...

Where can I get a hold of one of these boards jerseys?

On behalf of all the posters on this site I would like to thank you for volunteering to organise the boards jersey order for 2012*

Details on how it can be organised can be found here

*The forum's charter clearly states that anyone enquiring as to where a boards.ie jersey can be got must organise the next order - ok, it doesn't say that explicitly but it's kind of implied........

Yarp, myself indeed. First week back with the jersey (and without hi-viz covering it).

The wife said she saw me going along the ring road in Lusk yesterday afternoon in my boards jersey. I told her that I wasn't out that way so whoever you were in the new jersey - hello (you must look a bit like me :eek:)
