New to the area? New to the sport? Your friends thinking biking is lame and expensive? If you are anything like me then you find yourself with no partners, no knowledge of trails and no motivation to leave the house... Just sitting on your couch packing on the pounds, wishing that there were more 'meetup' groups closer to home that could help you find more people with your same interest. When does it end!? I figured what better way of finding what I am looking for then to create my own group an …

Join us! Whether you are new to riding or have a lot of rides under your belt, we invite you to join us on the beautiful roads and trails of the Bay Area.

This group is for riders who enjoy riding between 70-200 miles per ride. We average about 17 to 22 mph and tend to form pace lines whenever possible. This is a no drop ride; we encourage team work whenever possible since the miles make for a long day in the saddle.

The Berkeley Bicycling Meetup Group is for anyone who wants to meet new people and explore the  Bay Area. We have done mostly road rides but I plan to post a few mountain bike rides in the near future.  The rides are a lot of fun and are a great place to learn new routes. Despite the vast number of "members" (444, last time I checked), our group is small. There are 10-15 people who regularly attend our rides, with a handful on any given ride. This group doesn't drop slower riders! Unless I spe …

Meet other local road and mountain bikers to ride local roads, paths and trails. Although the core activity will be bicycle riding, occasionally we'll throw in a different outdoor activity just for the fun of it. All skill levels are welcome and we'll scale the events according to who participates.

This is a newly forming group of cycling enthusiasts who enjoy riding and socializing in the wine country of California. We will enjoy rides of varied lengths on awesome backroads in various wine regions including Sonoma, Healdsburg, Napa, Livermore, and hopefully even the Central Coast region. Our rides will all be followed with a social picnic or tasting or both. Our rides will also be social in nature of pace, with the objective of enjoying the road and the destination more than the speed in …

Do you bike in the city? Do you want to bike in the city? Do you have friends who want to bike, but don't know where to start? We need you! We are a loosely organized volunteer group planning a series of accessible, non-competitive rides though urban San Francisco to give people a taste of every-day biking in the city. You won't find a lot of spandex on fancy bikes here, or a throng of angry anarchic riders a la Critical Mass, we're mainly just regular bike riding folk. Here's what we envisio …

Our mission is simple, we want to get more people on bikes! Come roll with us! Our group rides are are open to riders of all levels, female or male. Everyone rides!

We are folding bicycle enthusiasts who love the way our bicycles get us to where we're going easily, conveniently and with style! We conduct frequent group rides, often involving public transportation and sometimes car shuttles -- because our bikes fold down so small.

The purpose of this group is to gather everyone who is interested in getting together consistently on weekends for a nice bike ride to different beautiful places in the Bay Area. My friend and I started biking a month ago and found that we really enjoy it. We have been to the Golden Gate Park and we love the ride over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and then to Tiburon. We want this to be a fun group where everyone could talk and hang out for brunch after the bike ride. We will come up with …

I'm starting this group for SF-based riders who want to share rides to various trails (e.g. Tamarancho, China Camp, Annadel, Skeggs, Wilder Ranch, Henry Coe, etc.), mostly for weekend rides, but I would also like to do some group after-work weekday evening or night rides in the area. There are already several Bay Area mountain biking meetup groups (and I belong to most of them) but I thought it would be good idea to have a resource for SF-based riders to use to organize rides starting form SF or …

I am new to the area and would love to find a group of people to swim, bike, and run with. After all, we are in one of the most beautiful places in the world to train for a triathlon! Maybe we can come up with a race in the near future that we can all do together. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a beginner, this training group will be fun, challenging, and a great way to meet lik …

Weekends or anytime rides, runs and swims in and around Marin for conditioning for any part of a triathlon or just enjoyment. All levels welcome.

This group is for anyone interested in hiking, biking, outdoor adventure, and good wine. All skills levels are welcome and there will be activities geared for various fitness/skill/endurance levels.  Being an orgainser for several other groups I've decided to start my own, so we can combine more activities and have more fun.  I currently lead either a hike or bike ride most Saturdays, along with the occasional music event, summer white water rafting trip, house party, summer barbecue, or other a …

We are a new meet-up group of active trail runners and mountain bikers (ok a maybe a roadie ride or two thrown in to mix things up) from the Benicia/Vallejo area and anywhere else for that matter.  All levels welcome as I'm not the most proficient mt biker. We can meet and do a run or ride then have a libation afterwards at a local spot. We can run/ride local as I know many of the trails or we can go out a bit...Marin, Rockridge, Lynch Canyon when it opens again. Probably meet on weekends for no …

The Bay Area has been missing a good fun and safe environment  for Christian Singles to meet, do activities and dance. DJ Nix and I used to go to a lot of dances and events put on by the Christian Singles Newsletter and other organizations years back and had met many new friends. We've  decided to put together both of our gifts and talents to bring back that passion that God gave us, and that's to create a fun and safe environment to dance and meet other Christian Singles. We have created PG (Pr …

Interested in multi-day bike excursions? From over-nighters, to multi-week tours, this meetup is the place to meet others and get the plans rolling. This is also a great place to exchange bicycle touring tips, knowledge, and tales from the road.

Bay Area Easy Riders touring group (BAER) was conceived and developed by Ron Bishop, League Certified Bicycle Instructor R.I.P. 12/11/11 and Mary Ann Blackwell, R.N., L.M.T.  They began this cycling group in March 2009 to fulfill their dreams of healthy fit, happy people traveling by bicycle on trails around the most fabulous year round cycling area in the world.

This is a group for active people in or around Fairfield. We meet up to do active things such as running, hiking, biking, etc. All skill levels welcome. We also get together to hang out at happy hours or other social activities. I started this group to get to know people in the area.

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …
