Meet new friends groups near Round Hill, VA

Ruby LoCo

Leesburg, VA

Ruby LoCo
Important Update 12/06/21 Last Month I took over ownership of the group. I’ve been here from the start, when a random group of us met for lunch ( at Eggspectations, if i’m remembering correctly) and started talking about having a Loudoun group so we wouldn’t have to travel for meetups. The world still isn’t back to normal, and we’re heading into the dark days of winter, but i’d love to see what we can organize anyway… maybe a Saturday morning virtual code and coffee, maybe a small conference hosted on Hopin, or something. If you agree, send me a message here, a message on twitter, etc. Wake the neighbors, invite your friends, RubyLoco is about to raise the roof! David Bock IMPORTANT UPDATE 9/9/21 Ruby LoCo started 10 years ago as a casual meet up for remote workers in the Leesburg area who wanted to get out of the home office to have lunch with like minded Ruby enthusiasts. The group continued to grow as we added beer to our lunches and robots to our hack nights.  We eventually formalized on Meetup and covered costs with sponsorship from Sequoia and Custom Ink. The last few years, we’ve had a consistent monthly meeting at The Glass Half Full (Alamo Drafthouse) . Overtime, the conversations expanded to cloud and other technologies . But the original spirt of the Ruby community has remained. As the group organizers, Chris Mar and Karle Durante have been quietly maintaining the Meetup behind the scenes. We’ve kept it going through the pandemic and recently paid the Meetup fees ( $98.94/6 months) with the remainder of our sponsorship funds. Thanks Sequoia! We would like to see the group continue to meet and grow but we need to find a new organizer who can dedicate the time to host the monthly lunches and find sponsorship to continue covering the costs (expiring 11/12/21). With 436 members there remains a lot of interest for a fun casual tech meetup in the Loudoun County.  We are not abandoning the group. We’ve made a lot of great friends over the years. But we need to find an organizer to carry the group forward and plan for post-pandemic meetups.  If you are interested in organizing the group please reach out. We will be here to support you and the group. A new organizer will bring new energy and we look forward to seeing our little lunch Meetup continue to grow and provide a respite for remote workers in Loudoun County. Thanks, Chris Mar and Karle Durante

Hike for Beer, VA

Bluemont, VA

Hike for Beer, VA

This group is for anyone interested in hiking longer distances (7+ miles), trips to cool pubs, and hanging out with like-minded individuals! We hike for several hours and then head over to a local brew pub. If you consider yourself an intermediate-skilled hiker, you are welcome to join us! Hike for Beer Next Step is a great combination of fantastic outdoor exercise and fun social interactions. You will be asked to sign a liability waiver on your first hike with the group.

If you feel that you are not quite ready to join us here (beginner-easy/medium skill-level hikers who want hikes under 7 miles in length), but you want to meet us and get to know our members, join our original Meetup group (Hike For Beer) where we seriously know how to have a good time! Most of not all of our leaders and members are involved in both groups! The people in both of our groups include different generations, genders, backgrounds, and cultures and we all bond over hiking and beer, food, wine, chocolate etc... this is a great group of hikers to be part of!

[Quick Note:
Hike at your own risk. This group is simply friends coming together to hike through the woods with each other and then go to brewery's and events afterwards. Please consider your own skill level when deciding which hikes you would like to participate in. If you attend a hike, you should always research the area on your own prior to hiking in order to familiarize yourself with the area and hike difficulty. If at any time during a hike you should be concerned with the trail, the duration of the hike, or your experience level, feel free to stop at any point and walk safely back after letting someone with you know.
Always hike with plenty of water!

And of course, this goes without saying, but must be said: Any time you ever consume alcohol, always drink responsibly, and NEVER drive drunk or impaired. Don't drink and drive, drive with someone who has not been drinking or take an Uber.]
