Where are you?

[RedheadDane]

As in international forum, we have members from all over the globe - apart from, maybe, Antarctica* - so I thought it would be interesting to see where people are from.
You can be as vague or specific as you like. Well... don't hand out your exact adress...

I'm - as you should have figured - from Denmark. More specifically Århus.






*If there are any penguins frequently reading this forum, I apologise for assuming you aren't here.

Hey there, with the forum existing so much longer than I have been here, there have probably been a few threads like this before, but I haven't seen any and maybe the questions are different or there are new members. Anyway, I made this questionnaire and I would love you to answer it! Where are...

What do you mean ‚Where are you?‘ I‘m right here.

Oh, good to hear. I thought you were there.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Oh, good to hear. I thought you were there.

I was, been there, done that, but things change.



On the topic of the thread, I‘m from a town that @Skijumper Roglic fan has been to and watched women come to a bike race to watch Danilo Hondo‘s legs. He did make a post about that. A small riddle (or research task) for you guys.

Legs?

Yeah, I remember the good old times, when hundreds of females, aged 18 to 78, visited Kurpark Criterium Bad Homburg, just to get a close-up view on Danilo Hondo‘s testicles, in cycling lycra shorts.

Damn, how I miss those days… grin

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Legs?

Oh yeah, I looked it up but I guess I just couldn‘t believe he really wrote that.

After going back through that thread, it doesn't surprise me one bit how many posters, and a few in particular, responded that they have never raced a bike.

 

[RedheadDane]

Went through the thread Netserk linked to. And apart from the fact that everyone temporarily lost their minds, it did indeed provide some information.

 

[Sciatic]

Long ago each member’s country or city of residence appeared under their forum name in each post. While not everyone entered specific info (someone had location as “the big blue marble”) I found that useful.

Of course! You just have to hold the cursor over the username!

Ah, merci!
ed. Hmm, but not on a mobile phone?

Then you need to actually tap the username.

I don't think it shows anything on my username as far as to where I'm from.

 

[Andre]

....but anyway I can be found cycling in places like Western North Carolina...and Florida...and Andalucia, Spain (where my mother was born)...and of course in the countryside of Belgium where I was born. This forum is the best in the world for my taste, and I'm lucky to have encountered in the posts some of the most knowledgeable and witty people ever (you know who you are).

It's possible the feature allowing you to add your location was only available before the 2019 takeover.

Also Aarhus! So not particularly exotic for you RedheadDane....

Didn’t you say you’re from the south?

 

[Cookster15]

Glad @Netserk posted that 12 questions thread. I miss BlueRoads, she was a good writer and calming influence here. Just re read my response to these 12 questions which was back in 2020. Back then I cited Primoz Roglic as my favourite cyclist. I'd have to change this to Pogacar.

Originally. I lived in North Carolina and Georgia until 11 years ago, when I relocated to CA.

 

[Potomac]

The clue is in my name.

I am somewhere in the drainage area shown on this map.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potomac_River#/media/File:potomacwatershedmap.png

Basin size	14,700 sq mi (38,000 km2)

That's an area slightly smaller than Switzerland, but larger than Belgium
