Singles on Sailboats

The Meetup Singles on Sailboats Group is a vehicle to introduce prospective members to our club.

The club is an organization of singles in the Chesapeake Bay area (over 700 members) who enjoy sailing, or want to get involved in the sport. Members include skippers (boat owners - about 125) and crew looking for OPB's (other peoples boats) to sail on.

Experienced and novice sailors are welcome, and the club offers extensive learning experiences. Activities include a busy schedule of day sails, weekend cruises, and extended 10-day cruises during the sailing season (April thru November), and many social get-togethers during the off-season.

We also organize one or two bareboat charter events every year, to destinations literally around the world. Recent destinations have included several to the Carribbean, Australia, Lake Huron, Croatia For more info, visit our website at www.SinglesonSailboats.org.

Through the Meetup website we offer year-round monthly happy hours throughout the northern Chesapeake Bay area. These are located from southeastern Pa to northern VA, and numerous points in between. They are attended by both Meetup participants and active club members. Active members do not RSVP through Meetup, so you will find many more attendees at these events than this site might indicate.

During the off-season (November through March) we also offer monthly Sunday Brunches in Annapolis. These typically attract over 100 attendees, and always include a speaker on a subject of interest. Speakers have included noted authors, Bay Pilots, outdoors & nature photographers, celebrated sailors, among others.

Members and non-members are welcome at the happy hours and brunches, all posted on this site. We invite you to participate in our Meetups, meet club members, talk sailing, and consider joing the club.

DMV Rollers Cycling

Bowie, MD

DMV Rollers Cycling
**WHO WE ARE** The District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia (DMV) Rollers is a group of recreational road cyclists who appreciate and enjoy the fellowship and health benefits associated with our sport -- and we love riding our bikes! All skill levels of cyclists are welcome to join us, however most of our members do have at least a few years of road riding experience and are "B+/B" riders (16 -18 mph group pace on flat roads). Therefore, we strongly encourage riders of lesser experience and/or ability to join our rides early in the season as each week the rides will increase in length and intensity. Although our rides are "no drop", meaning we will never leave a cyclist alone on the road, if a rider is deemed unable to maintain the group pace and/or complete the ride, we will ensure only that the rider is appropriately safeguarded (friend/SAG pick-up, rest stop drop-off, etc.).    Additionally, the DMV Rollers take pride in giving back to the community via participation in numerous charity rides throughout the cycling season. For example, at the national level in June 2024 members participated in **"Bike MS: Chesapeake Challenge 2024"**, raising over $3,300 in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society. And local causes supported recently included the April 2024 **"Ride to End Hunger in Calvert County"** (Food Pantry's in Calvert County, MD), the June 2023 **"Tour de Talbot"** (Talbot Thrive, a non-profit in Talbot County, MD which promotes healthy and safe outdoor mobility), the June 2023 DIVA Cycling **"Colors of Cancers Awareness Ride"** (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital), and the October 2022 Artemis Racing **"From the 'Wood to the Beach"** (event in support of A Wider Circle, whose mission is to end poverty). **HOW WE ROLL** ***Safety First:*** Please keep in mind that in order to accomplish a successful day of group road cycling, rider safety must be first and foremost. The DMV Rollers encourage and welcome fellow cycling enthusiasts to ride with us. However, the DMV Rollers assume no liability for any of our posted rides: ***each participant rides at their own risk, bears personal responsibility for their own safety and is respectful of the safety of others***. In order to participate in the DMV Rollers' rides, cyclists must familiarize themselves with and adhere to the following: * COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES: in good health, no recent contact with someone who tested Covid-19 positive, frequent handwashing, etc. * Always wear a helmet (proper fitting/adjusted) * Keep your ears clear (no ear buds playing loud music) * Pay Attention: keep your eyes and mind on the road and maintain awareness of your surroundings. It only takes a few seconds for something very bad to happen. * Obey all traffic signs and signals (act like a car) * Ride no more than two abreast (when safe to do so) * Call out car "back”, "up”, "right", "left" etc. to alert fellow riders to vehicular traffic * When a motor vehicle is behind you and/or trying to pass, ride single file * Call out your intentions to riders immediately behind you: “slowing” “stopping” “turning” * Call out to riders/pedestrians ahead of your intentions to pass: “on your left” * Use traffic hand signals when appropriate to alert riders/motor vehicles/pedestrians * Point to road hazards and/or call out to riders behind you: “gravel”, “hole”, "roadkill" etc. * Ride defensively and use common sense and courtesy toward motorists, pedestrians, and others * Stay Visible: use lights when biking at night or in low-light conditions. **PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST** * Properly fitting and adjusted helmet * Cycling gloves * Protective cycling eyeglasses * Spare tubes * CO2 cartridges and/or bicycle pump, tire levers, patch kit * Operational safety lights * Water bottle(s) * Food: bars, gels, fruit, etc. * Identification (such as Road ID) * Emergency money * Do a quick test of your bike to ensure that it’s in proper working order
