Boards Road Cyclists' Locations List - THE RETURN!!!

Lemag · 22-02-2012 1:56pm #1

If you're interested in other boards members getting in contact with you about meeting up for a cycle or two just "vote" for the county in which you are currently mostly situated.

This is for ROAD cyclists only.

The votes cast will be publically available to view.

I created a thread like this last year. However, baring in mind that some members may have since changed their residence and/or be new to this forum, I have decided to post it again.

I have changed the county pairings.

Due to the restriction of a maximum of 25 options I have had to pair some counties. For this I've used a best-fit algorithm based on each counties' geographical size and shape discance. Historical conflicts and GAA rivalries were not taken into consideration.

Dublin/Wicklow is a bit vast. I am more Dublin/Meath.
Can you not give each county its own choice?
EDIT: I should have read the whole post before commenting - sorry.

You need to double up some since you can only have a maximum of 25 options in a poll.

Looking at the distribution of data, the numbers would justify having a separate poll just for the various areas in and around Dublin.

I don't think the size would, Dublin is the third smallest county in Ireland.

Now, does this apply to MTB owners who only cycle on the road or road bike owners only?

Perhaps a silly question but I said I'd ask anyway

It's early days yet regarding the data distribution but population density was one of the last aspects which I considered.

If you or anyone else feel that they could keep up on the road with the average road cyclist then feel free to join in.

It would not surprise me, if most of the cyclists are based in and around Dublin these days...given the number of population

Clicked Wexford for myself since I'll living/working there all next summer. Too busy for any spins in Dublin before I move down there anyway

Based in Dublin but venture north as far as Meath, south as far as Wicklow and west as far as Kildare.

Live in Kilkenny, work in Carlow, will end up in all of the surrounding counties at some point or another on the bike.

I think Lemag does not realise the superiority of Dublin in all things.

This poll is great. Sure wasn't it created by a Corkonian, like.

Have never seen Wicklow being grouped with Dublin before? Would have thought it deserved its own listing!

Just going back to the way things were / should be:) Wicklow was part of Dublin and if memory serves it was last county created in Ireland.

Wait another few months when fuel goes up to €5.50 per litre, the roads may get a bit quieter

Keep it up lads and we will insist on visas and passport controls for the Dublin fraternity. Wicklow is the garden of Ireland. We want to keep standards high
