Meet new friends groups near Hopewell Junction, NY

Just a "hang out group" of solo women over 48 in the Hudson Valley area (loose parameters on age and relationship status). Looking to foster a fun and supportive environment for all solo women. Open to suggestions: coffee, yoga, book discussions, pickleball, walks, bike rides, restaurants, movies or plays. Just moved to New Paltz a year ago and looking for new friends and connections in the area. Feel free to plan and list an activity. Not a dating group. Value inclusivity, discourage agendas. Gotta stick together.

Hello! This group is intended to be a place to make new gay friends. Taking inspiration from a similar group in Queens, we could aim to meet around once a month, usually at a bar somewhere, to grab a drink, socialize, and make new friends. If there is interest we can also plan events to dine out, go hiking, or attend events as a group. Open to ideas! Whether you're new to the area or just looking to make new friends, this group is for you. Join us for events, gatherings, and social networking opportunities. Let's come together to celebrate our diversity, support each other, and have a great time exploring all that the Mid-Hudson Valley has to offer! Open to all ages and genders. The organizer is a 55 year old introvert who values making real friendship connections. So if you are introverted or shy, or feeling unseen because of your age, you will be in good company. We can even plan for introvert outings, 40+ events, etc if there is interest.

This is a way for us to meet new people and socialize after all of our lives have been affected from the pandemic….as well as holding us responsible for remaining active, by walking outside for the health benefits. We walk at a brisk pace, but slow enough where we can hold a conversation. I don’t know about you guys, but if I’m having a blah day, I will NOT blow off the exercise with excuses if people are waiting on me. Come join and have fun after work with me!

I know, who the heck makes a meetup for INTROVERTS?? * Feel isolated or lacking friends? * Longing for a sense of connection that also aligns with your introverted nature? * Want to attend various meetups but too shy to actually go? * Feel unseen in a world that caters to extroversion? * Worried about looking awkward? * Looking for things to do that caters to introverts? I checked them all, how about you? Let's be awkward together and create a safe space for introverts to hang out and make friends.

What would you like to do? Our meetups will provide opportunities for meaningful connections and engaging conversations in a relaxed setting. So if you're looking to meet like-minded introverts and explore all that the Hudson Valley has to offer, join us and let's make some new friends.

**\*\*\*WE APOLOGIZE, DUE TO OUR VOLUME, NEW MEMBERSHIP IS CURRENTLY CLOSED..TY\*\*\*** Join us! "Just Ride" started with a small group of like minded people who enjoy riding. "Just Ride" is **NOT** a club but a group of independent adults who just want to ride their motorcycles, relax, enjoy the scenery and each other. Meet new people and have fun while being safe. The only thing we ask is for good old fashioned courtesy, common sense and respect for each other. The rides we post usually cover 100+ miles, traveling on both highway and local roads in all weather conditions so a good level of riding experience is required. Each and every person who joins has the right to post a ride. This is one area where we ask for the courtesy, common sense & respect to come in. If someone has a ride posted on a Sunday and you were thinking of posting one…. post it on another Sunday or any other day of the week that is open. If you were thinking of a ride around town on a Wednesday night …. Post it. We all can’t make every ride so having a variety of rides keeps everyone happy. Come and share your favorite ride with us. Join us and let us know how we're doing. We encourage all reviews both positive and negative. This will let us know if were going in the right direction or if we need to correct something. Bottom line ........ We are here to "JUST RIDE". No President. No Vice President. No Pressure. JUST GREAT TIMES !! With Great People !! The only fee we incur is to keep the website up and running. Currently that cost is paid for the first six months. The next renewal will be split evenly between the current members at that time. **Anyone who rides with this group (Just Ride) does so at their own risk. You are responsible for yourself, the condition of your vehicle and any passenger you may bring with you.**
