    Finally, I spotted one!

    Yesterday's Fit Magazine (included with Irish Independent, Thursday 30th August 2012) had an item about John Treacy doing the Sean Kelly Tour, with this photo (Boardsie arrowed):

    That's me. National coverage :D
    Rodger was too fast heading off

    Saw a boardsie stuck at Merrion Gates at around 17:00, not sure what type of bike. I was on my bike at the other side of the gates.

    Driving from Aughrim Co. Wicklow towards Ballinaclash this morning and a group of 4 cyclists with one in Boards gear heading towards Aughrim around 11am. Lots of cyclists out and about. Passed a big group (Bray Wheelers?) as they headed towards Rathdrum. Nice day to be out.

    Was passed by a pink boards Jersey coming through North Strand today, sky shorts.

    My excuse for not giving chase was that I was coming home from a half marathon.

    Saw a couple of Boardsies on the Cork Rebel tour today. One in complete kit of Shirt + Shorts - looked kool!!!. The other (young lad) was enjoying a sambo in the food stop....don't ask me where that was!!!!!!!

    Was intending in wearing my own Boards.ie shirt as I had it in the car ...but decided to support the event by wearing the event sponsered shirt - it was the least I could do for a 'top ran/ value for money' event !! Quality shirt and a welcome addition to my sparse wardrobe and a nice fit....gave me a bit of an Greek God torso so was happy!!!

    Sounds like me. Were you on a Giant, and wearing a pair of runners (because of the half marathon of course ;))?

    I take it the half marathon ended in the Phoenix Park? The traffic was terrible there today.

    Most likely somebody out of the Dying Cow audax event.

    That would have been myself in the full boardsie kit. I did the 85 and it was the longest spin i did in those velotech bibs. I was suitably impressed as my other bibs are castelli and vermarc. They held up well

    How'd it go? Dying Cow is in my neighbourhood and I've taken it on a few times on spins. An enjoyable downhill!

    A fantastic day out, both laid back and superbly organised, well worth a go if you get the chance. Some more commentary here. Some hill!

    Ailesbury Road, 5:36 pm, almost beside the French Ambassador's residence.

    You: heading towards Donnybrook, new jersey under an open high-viz vest, road bike, helmet, shades. Me: heading towards the sea, Dutch bike with a crate on the front, loud bell and a wave.

    Me! Sorry I didn't see you though I do remember hearing a bell at some stage this evening. There was a bit of a headwind blowing so I think that was taking my attention!

    No worries. In your further defence ;), I think you were riding towards the sun and I was probably hidden in the shadows of the trees. At least I know my bell can be heard over a headwind!

    Ailesbury Road, 6:15 pm, slightly further east of the French Ambassador's residence than yesterday's sighting.

    You: heading towards Donnybrook, old jersey, road bike, helmet, glasses. Me: heading towards the sea, Dutch bike with a crate on the front, a wave and a point at your jersey. Pretty sure I got a nod in return.

    Rich pickings around D4 lately. Is there a Panini sticker book in which to record sightings of ye jersey owners? And if so, does anyone have a Tim Allen to trade? Rumour has it there's only one. I have a spare seamus, two spare Lumens and about 17 monuments for swopsies.

    On Abbey Road, Monkstown heading towards Baker's Corner at about 18.55 this evening. Spotted at the last minute when my missus who was driving pointed you out so not sure of bike make.

    That was me, was thinking that your cargo bike could do with its own sighting thread!

    :D

    Is my bell pink enough to identify me as a Boardsie? Or would the thread have to give daily clues, like a modern day Lobby Lud?

    Today, Doctor Bob will be wearing a burgundy tank top, brown cords and a checked shirt, and will be lunching on George's Street. To claim the prize, tell us the name of the book he was reading over lunch.

    Probably me. These sightings are getting closer to home. I'm going to retire my Jersey for a bit. Unless Dr. Bob needs a sighting to complete a line on his Boards Jersey Bingo card.

    That's very thoughtful of you, but you're in the clear- I got you a few months ago on Pembroke Street/Baggot Street when you had your dodgy bottom bracket on the Charge. Retire away! (And I promise not to post sightings if I see you in mufti.)

    Could have been me heading east (and dodging the triangular roundabout). Was that you on a triple tandem?
