Likewise

I was in town and forgot to collect it.

Dav said there was a few hickups in HQ but should be posted shortly.

I don't want to sound like a di(k but the gear has been in Boards HQ for three weeks now, two if you consider it was sitting in a corner somewhere unbeknownst to Dav.

In that time posts have been made here, and PMs sent to Dav asking about the postage and no response. I realize this isn't part of his job as such but if your going to volunteer to do something then do it otherwise just say no.

Two weeks without posting or letting those waiting on postage know what's happening is a bit rude tbh.

Hunterbiker

Have you PM'd Dav about this?
Just to be clear I facilitated the ordering but being mostly based in Cork I can't help with the posting of the kit for people who wanted theirs posted out.
I'm sorry if the delay has soured things a wee bit and I can see it must be frustrating waiting for stuff to arrive.
I would imagine that he's just been inundated with normal work. However I don't speak for him nor do I speak for Boards or the Cycle Forum.
The only sure-fire way of knowing what is going on one way or the other is to make direct contact with Dav via PM and asking him.

Hunterbiker

I've dropped him a message. Hopefully he'll reply directly on this thread or I will post an update.

D3PO

Yes I did PM Dav but no reply.

Im not having a go at you Hunterbike. I just thi8nk if Dav has agreed to facilitate this send to boards HQ etc agree to post then it should be done in a timely manner.

Or at the very least a message saying guys im snowed under with day to day work so cant get around to posting until X. A post of some sort by him would be the very least he should be doing.

Tp be far to Dav doing this is over an above what he is employed to do with Boards. He has helped out a lot on this order and other others so I would cut him some slack.

You may also have noticed that the site has had issues over the last while. That will and always should have priority.

Having posted out many orders before it takes time and effort to check, bag, write and post orders.

Give it some time. It will get here

And another thing he has gone way beyond the very least he should be doing.

Is this still going or has it finished? My first winter cycling and after thismorning, I don’t think the football top and shorts will cut it anymore, it’stoo cold even after you warm up. If itis too late, can someone give me an idea of what sort of gear is recommendedfor winter cycling in Dublin? I’ve seenother cyclists with those leggings but I haven’t got a clue where to start.

Thanks.

Some tights (from lidl/aldi are fine ) or some padded tights if you want to wear them on long cycles. Arm warmers, gloves. You can get legwarmers if you want something in your pocket you can pull over the legs if necessary. You could also go for overshoes if you are struggling with frozen toes. a small beanie for under the helmet to keep ears warm can also be useful.

I reckon they will be in the post today

Dav

Hi folks, the stuff is finally in the post, I'm very sorry for the delay, but I've been flat out with other work.

Well said godtabh.

However I will put it more bluntly.
Without Dav/Boards help and input the orders of the frequency and size that get ordered here simply would not go ahead.

Credit where credit is due!

My gear has just been handed to me. Great service.

Arrived safe and sound - thank you for all your work.

Got my Bro to pick up my hat the other day, he gave it to me yesterday. It's the business, helmet even fits better with it on and I'm more aero with my big ears tucked in. Thanks to Hunterbiker, Dav and everyone else.

Just back to work today and had a welcome surprise package waiting for me.
Thanks to Hunterbiker, Dav and Boards for organising.
