Years ago I went out once on a run with this crowd: http://homepage.eircom.net/~ctc/

At the time they did regular weekend runs from the Phoenix park to Kilcock and back. I see that their website hasn't been updated for years, so they may not be active anymore. You could give their secretary a ring to see if they still go out (IIRC emailing didn't work at the time).

You might find a ride on Paul Kavanagh's calendar that you could join up with.

For my Wicklow 200 training I've just been going off cycling by myself, armed with some Ordnance Survey Discovery series maps. The tiny regional roads that I've been on have decent surfaces and very low traffic levels.

hi thanks for that have to say that l am more into leisure cycling and not competitive cycling as l am not that fit just want to cycle with a few people that are interested in cycling on a Saturday/ Sunday Morning

erizo · 02-05-2007 2:27pm

Hi!

I would join you in some of those morning cyclings. more for leisure than competition. as i used to compete years ago.
i live in the glasnevin cemetery area and would like to do some leisure routes the weekends and maybe some of the weekday evenings too as i recently brought my bike from home.

Let me know.

cheers

My hill training for the Wicklow 100 last year was Howth, Howth, Howth. I was out there recently as part of my Wicklow 200 training. Cycle up from south side and down into the village, u-turn and up from the village. The hill from the village is tough. The long downhill on the other size is a nice 'dessert'.

erizo · 03-05-2007 6:45am

i have a racing bike and sounds good the trip from clontarf to howth. i wouldn't be able to ride for 110 km right now as i would need to lose about 20 kilos for that!!!hahahaha

would i could consider for next months as i will be fitter!!jejeje

cycling is fun · 03-05-2007 6:57am

The seating area is quite nice. Use Satellite view to see it.

Lucas10101 · 18-05-2007 1:56pm

Sorry, I have something on that day....

Raam · 18-05-2007 2:03pm

sure head off on your own buddy. It only takes about an hour out and back

saobh_ie · 18-05-2007 3:06pm

I live in Swords also, haven't as yet collected the bike but i'll be using it as a way to rest my ankles from running so i'll need to be out for hours and hours. and i'll only be learning (cycling roadcraft, the actual cycling I should remember) so it'd be a benefit i think to learn from others example.

Swords sucks for any kind of training, despite the big vally through it its flat as a pancake. I once ran a loop taking in all the bypass pedestrain bridges but they were crap and the deck was in a crap state. crap. =] So i'm game ball if ye organsie something.

cycling is fun · 18-05-2007 5:04pm

hi if you want we can meet at da seating area at clontarf beside dublin bat at about 1:30 tomorrow and cycle to howth and back?

erizo · 26-05-2007 10:51am

cycling is fun · 26-05-2007 8:20pm

erizo · 28-05-2007 4:25pm

erizo · 29-05-2007 2:43pm

i hope you will be there by 5pm. i shouldn't have any problem to be there by 5pm, i mean because of traffic or whatever, but wait for me, as i will wait for you if you are not there.

You guys should exchange mobile numbers via PM.

garo · 04-06-2007 8:05am

I'd be interesting in joining up as and when convenient. I live in Clontarf and have done the trip to Howth a few times. You can post here or PM me to meet up first time.

erizo · 20-06-2007 11:03am

i spent long enough there too. i also called my housemate to check on the internet if you left a late message. when to howth and return. and didn't see anybody that could have stayed there waiting. Don't know where you where.

I was dressing some cycling clothes from a spanish team.

this week weather is pretty bad, let's talk about next week.
let me know how to contact you via phone

thanks
