Welcome! We are San Jose Mountain Biking Our group’s purpose is simple.  We want to get people out riding whenever and wherever possible.  As the Organizer of SJ Mtb, I’m dedicated to helping people get out on the bike more often.  I don’t care if you ride every day of the week or just a few times a month.  I don’t care if you only ride with us or if you ride with lots of different groups.  Mountain Biking for me isn’t a popularity contest, it’s a way of life.  We’re not out to have the most me …

We work under the principles that there are three key elements to start with that will create a successful startup: good people, a product the market actually wants, and money (either by spending as little money as possible or having access to enough money to it see through to customer interaction). Startups that fail at any one of these three key elements will likely fail. But all three are doable. And that’s what makes startups so exciting – they may be hard but they are doable. Cofounder Clu …

This is a group for all types of cyclists to connect with other riders so nobody has to ride alone (unless you want to). We value cycling as a community more than the competetive aspects quite often associated with our passion but that doesn't limit friendly challenges from occuring before regrouping. Besides the standard group type rides, we support rides that fall outside the normal offerings with an emphasis on exploration and variety. Do you like to mix road and dirt into the same ride? Have …

New to the area? Having trouble finding new friends? Us too! The goal of this meetup is to meet new people in the Bay Area. Whether moving here for a job or moving here right after college, let's face it, it's difficult to meet new people outside of the work environment. We're aiming to introduce new people over drinks in the area, keeping the group size small, and cheap, with a low time commitment.

Hi! We're seeking friendly men and women that are interested in playing an occasional game of softball at a baseball diamond somewhere in San Francisco. Here are some additional details: The game itself lasts two hours. However, all players that have RSVPed for a specific game should be AT the diamond at least 30 minutes before game time so I can collect the money and create two teams of nine. (This is also a good time for you to get some quick catching and batting practice with the others.) Th …

Hello, This is a message from the new dude administering this group, since apparently the host dropped out and no one decided to pick it up. I'm new to the West Coast and want people to hang out with.  The rest pretty much remains... This is a group dedicated to slightly off-kilter people ages 18-29 in the Bay/East Bay areas. We totally nerd out over video games, movies, music, board games and more, so come join us one night! We're always looking for new and interesting things to do in the great …

This is a group for women of African Descent 40 years of age and older who love women. It's for anyone new to the Bay Area or not.  If you're looking for a way to meet women close to your age group for friendship and socialization. I started this group because many of my friends over the age of 40 have shared their desire to meet other women 40 and over who share similar interest in dining out, dancing, game nights, potlucks, spa days, wine tasting, plays, musicals, concerts, retreats, traveling …

The city has a fun culture of cool, vibrant young professionals.  It's easy to find happy hours any day of the week, with interesting, fun, friendly people everywhere. Now that I am spending time in the Tri-Valley area, I was wondering where the young professionals go after work to socialize, de-stress, and meet new friends. I figured I would start a meetup, and hope to make some new friends in the process - people to hang with after work, grab a bite, get a drink, see a movie, get some coffee.. …

This is a group for beginner to intermediate runners. We meet each Saturday morning at 8:30am outside the gym, Overtime Fitness (1625 N. Shoreline Blvd. Mountain View).

Afterwards we hang out at Starbucks (1380 Pear Ave.) for about 25 min. to have coffee together. Participants are free to go for a longer run, faster run or even wa …

There's something special that happens when women get together for positive fun; there is laughing and chatting and caring and hugging and gossip and a feminine energy that is so uplifting. This is a group for women who want to have more little adventures (and some big ones) with other women in their everyday lives. What is a little adventure? It's something outside your normal routine. It's something that challenges your comfort level, and maybe your idea of what you are capable of. And sometim …

Hey Everyone! This group is all about hanging out at the beach. I am a 24 year old who spends all week in an office, so I decided it was time to get outside on the weekends. Even though it isn't SoCal or Hawaii, we still have plenty of cool beaches to hang out at. I based the meetup in San Mateo, but really I am planning to have events up and down the coast from Santa Cruz up to North Bay. If we get good turnouts we will, of course, hold events more often in those locations. Our events will be p …

Meet up with other 30-somethings for great dinners out in Palo Alto and other nearby cities. We'll pick both casual and fine dining options, and eventually branch out to dinner parties at people's homes if folks are interested. Mainly this is a way to get out and enjoy some new restaurants while meeting likeminded people in your age range for new friends, dating, and/or professional networking. Why not take advantage of the chance to meet some of the incredible, interesting people who probably l …

"I used to be a runner and I miss it." "I have always thought I would like to be a runner." "I am a walker, but I would like to make the transition to running." If any of these statements fit you or you are just tired of being the slowest person in your running group, this group is for you! My intention is to create a fun, non-competitive environment where new, tentative, and slow runners can feel comfortable to enjoy running in beautiful surroundings with supportive friends. Who is this group f …

There seem to be plenty of meetups for SAHMs, but its harder to find folks interested in meeting on weekends and weekday evenings, so this group is designed especially for working parents who would like to establish new friends for themselves and their child(ren) aged around 1-3 years old. (Older and younger siblings are welcome, too!) (Stay-at-home moms and dads are also very welcome, but the main objective of this group is to schedule events outside of the standard workweek, so that working p …
