Welcome to ***SOB Cycling***! This is not ***(NOT)*** an "anti-male" group but is focused on creating a safe space for women to ride and grow in the sport/hobby of cycling. Cycling is a very male-dominated activity and sometimes the women's perspective gets lost. This group's privacy is set to private so that the safe space, including the details of where we will gather, remains only visible to members of this group. What I have noticed since moving to The Triangle is that many cycling groups are male dominated, which changes the dynamic of a group...and a peloton *(If you know, you know)*. For me, I wanted a group that has rides where every person isn't training for a race series and/or a century. I want to get consistent (again) and rebuild my cycling stamina after injury and self-neglect. Don't get me wrong, I never stopped cycling, but I have become "a person who rides" more than the cyclist I once was, who lived the lifestyle...and I do miss it. Whether on the road, gravel, or trail, above all else, I want to have fun and explore now *(and familiar)* terrain. If you're a MTB girlie, the **[TORC Women's group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/552289478298970)** is awesome, but doesn't host many rides. **[TORC](https://www.torc-nc.org/)** overall is a great group and I encourage all my MTB ladies to consider joining. Regardless, I WILL (WILL) be scheduling MTB rides all over. (Admittedly, I am an XC rider and former racer who favors climbing over jumping off sh*t, so if jumping off sh*t is your thing, I will happily watch and be your hype girl...but will not actively seek out trails that specifically cater to flow or gravity. Sorry. I broke my back walking my dogs; imagine what I could break with my level of coordination.) Most but not all weekday rides will be road or gravel and I will host longer MTB events on weekends. Were you previously a competitive cyclist who suffered an injury and is recovering? Or lost your mojo? Or just walked away from the sport for a beat but want back in? Are you strong as all get out but want to ride with other women and elevate them? ***YES! Come ride!*** Do you miss riding and training with others but perhaps are not yet ready to jump back into other group rides at their posted average speeds or just don't want the imbalance of the male-dominated ride? Do you miss having a set training plan? Want to ride with others but hate the heat or just need to get sh\*t done early in the day before the day takes you..? *(This cannot just be me.)* Let's work it out together and get back in the saddle in ways that build us up and spark joy and community. **\*If you are a beginner cyclist, this may not be the best fit for you, but you are still welcome to show up and see what we are about. :-)** About me: I relo'ed to NC from STL in Nov 2020 and have struggled to get back in the saddle in a meaningful way after injury and a bit of social isolation. I love NC and want to *(somewhat selfishly)* build a community that supports those of us who seem to fall through the group ride cracks...the formerly advanced-level, injured/recovering athletes. :-) ***Let's do this!*** *\*Side Note: Fundraising was accidentally triggered and I have since disabled. I will never request funding support for this group. :-)* **Acronym Glossary:** **MTB:** mountain bike **OAB:** Out and Back **ATT:** American Tobacco Trail **ORC:** Old Reedy Creek Trailhead **NRT:** Neuse River Trail **NCMA:** NC Museum of Art

I’m trying to start a group of active DFS players in Raleigh. If we get a lot of people, we could host events to watch games and discuss picks. Whether you play DraftKings, FanDuel, Underdog, PrizePicks, or just regular fantasy football - feel free to join! Started in September 2023

This is a group for anyone interested in playing a flavor of hockey called Floorball. This is an extremely popular global sport that is fast paced, fun to play, can be of any skill level and does not require equipment other than a stick and a ball! If you are/were a hockey player, or always wanted to play hockey, or just want to stay fit - this is a sport for you. We are a co-ed sport club and welcome all skill levels - looking forward to seeing you out on the courts! **Floorball & Club Information:** [Triangle Floorball Club](https://www.facebook.com/trianglefloorballclub) \- North Carolina [USA Floorball](http://www.usafloorball.org) [Global Floorball](http://www.floorball.org) **Floorball related training & general videos** [Floorball 4 All](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCipOxITA6wVp6emE2Zm2Tw) [Floorball videos on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=floorball) [Goal Keeping - Part 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jezKEOq4qY8) [Goal Keeping - Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgF1pkL2OFo) **Rules** [International Floorball Federation (IFF) - Rules of the game](https://floorball.sport/rules-and-regulations/rules-of-the-game)

This is an upscale setting with working class friendly people. We host poker tournaments and keep a leaderboard across a season of events. We get together a few times a week to play poker, eat dinner and watch sports.

This group is ideal for anyone who loves football and enjoys watching games with friends. Members should embrace the friendly rivalry, able to cheer alongside fans of opposing teams—peaceful coexistence, even on heated game days! We'll gather at various sports bars and venues around the Triangle on NFL game days throughout the season. We may also consider hosting some college football events. **Note:** While we meet at sports bars to catch the games, our group is sober-friendly! Whether you drink or not, you’re welcome to join us. The Organizer has some good mocktail recipes! :) In case you miss posts on meetup, you can follow @gridirongoddesslove on instagram for meetup info and pics from events.

The scenario: You are young, probably single without family obligations, and in a new city.  You don't know anyone local from school or growing up. The people at work, where you spend most of your days, are much older than you are. You are uncomfortable checking out new places by yourself. It dawns on you that making friends that you want to meet regularly is not easy. How do people make friends in the real world? It was so much easier in school!

There is a need for a YOUNG group of new college grads and young professionals, the 20 somethings who are in the same life stage. There are other "20s and 30s" groups but those seem to lean more towards the older end of the spectrum and don't properly serve the 20s demographic. If you've recently moved to the area, post-college or for work, and are missing your old friends or having trouble making new ones, this is the group for you! If you've ever wanted to go out and do something only to realize that you don't have other similar aged acquaintances you'd enjoy doing those things with, you found the purpose of this social club.

This is not meant to be a typical meetup group, with lame events, sporadic attendance, and awkward interactions. We started this group to create a network of young professionals in our area that can go do a variety of activities that can be casual and fit into busy schedules. We're looking for people who want to invest in their local community, enrich their social calendar, and get out and do stuff. If things go well, We  hope this will be the only meetup group you need to look at while living in Raleigh.

A few of things we hope to do monthly is happy hours, weekend bar crawls, weekend trips, pickup sports, hiking, boating, paintball, trivia nights, dinners, brunch, concerts, brewery tours, wine tastings, sporting events. You know, typical stuff that people our age like to do.

This is not a dating group, or a singles group, though hopefully some of you can find a special someone if you are looking. Please be mature, kind, open to meeting new people, have some education past high school, and be between the ages of 21 and 31. Invite your friends and lets prove that life after college doesn't have to suck!

We're a writing group with a focus on science fiction and fantasy that meets on Saturday afternoons. Writers of all interest levels are welcome to come share and receive feedback on each others' work. We require the following from attendees: Kindness: Try to be encouraging to your fellow writers. Some of us write as a career, others a hobby, please don't discourage others from practicing or improving their craft. Professionalism: Stick to the rules of presentation and feedback for the group. They are there to protect both our time and our feelings. Rules and Format: Up to three writers present on a given night. They are chosen from attendees of previous meetings. Up to three backup readers will also be chosen. If a primary reader is unavailable a backup reader will take their place, otherwise the backup reader will become a primary reader for the following meeting. Each reader has 15 minutes to present, and each attendee has one minute to give personalized feedback, followed by 5 minutes of open discussion. Feedback is to be as follows. State at least one thing you liked from the piece, at least one thing you would change, and one question you had for the author for the open discussion portion.

**Oak City Locksport** is the original Raleigh area lockpicking group, founded in 2010 by Katie (aka "sq33k"), and led today by Patrick (aka "[unregistered436](https://twitter.com/unregistered436)"). While we are not a [TOOOL](http://toool.us) chapter, we were fostered by the TOOOL US president Deviant Ollam, and we remain friends to this day. We meet once a month to pick locks, share interesting locks or projects, and have a beer with friends. Check out our [YouTube Channel!](https://www.youtube.com/OakCityLocksport) We're focused on fun and education! We welcome newcomers to this hobby, and are more than willing to teach the basics to get you started. There are no startup costs or membership fees, though we won't refuse the occasional donation to replace damaged items or expand the collection. We have some "community" locks and picks so there is no need to bring anything to your first meetups, but most people end up buying their own picks once they're hooked! Most people pick up this hobby because locks are like little metal puzzles. It's useful to learn about the relative security (or insecurity) of the locks we use in everyday life. There are many different variations of the saying, but "Locks are for honest people". A real criminal is more likely to break a window, use bolt cutters, or crash through a door. Besides our Meetups you might also find us running the Lockpick Village at regional security conferences such as CackalackyCon or BSidesRDU. Is learning to pick locks and possessing lock picks legal in the state of North Carolina? You bet! BUT, you've got to make sure to follow a few simple rules: \ • Do not pick a lock you rely upon. The lock may be damaged in your practice and stop functioning. \ • Do not pick a lock you do not own unless given explicit permission. Always warn the owner that it's possible damage may occur. \ • Do not offer services or receive compensation for picking a lock unless you are licensed as a Locksmith in the state of North Carolina (NC GS 74F). \ • Use your powers for good, not evil. Do not share your skills with those you suspect will lockpick to commit a crime. Also note that possession of lock picks with intent to break into a home or business is escalated up to a Class I Felony (NC GS 14-55). See our Wiki for lockpicking references and information on the lock library that members have access to ([https://oakcitylocksport.com/](https://oakcitylocksport.com/)) We can also be found on Twitter at [@oakcitylocks](https://twitter.com/oakcitylocks). **Note:** While this is a public Meetup, we reserve the right to ask participants to leave if they are disrespectful, disruptive, disreputable. Yeah, we'll "dis" you.

**Promoting – Building – Maintaining** Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) is a nonprofit volunteer organization (501) (C) (3) dedicated to safeguarding the future of mountain biking in the Triangle area of North Carolina through the promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and preservation of North Carolina’s natural resources. TORC is the Triangle area chapter of Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) and was founded in August 2005. Prior to TORC’s formation, the Triangle’s mountain bike community had been served by individual mountain bike clubs whose focus was limited to a specific trail network. TORC was formed to unify the region’s smaller clubs into a stronger voice for local mountain bikers.   Thank you for those that have joined.  TORC is becoming a stronger and stronger influence within the Triangle NC area.  The bigger our numbers and the larger pool of leaders and volunteers to draw from, directly means more success in our area for more trails and happier land managers/owners.  Please look at the big picture for our local mountain bike advocacy efforts and join and volunteer to help.                         If you haven’t already joined, for as little as $39 a year you could be a member of TORC, SORBA and the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). Visit [www.torc-nc.org](http://www.torc-nc.org).  An important part of promoting the sport of mountain biking is extending a welcome to everybody who is enthusiastic and interested in the sport. We offer rides, clinics, and events to accommodate people with all skill levels and the advancement of off-road cycling throughout the Triangle.  We schedule trail workdays throughout the year to build new trail or maintain existing singletrack. Check our events calendar and volunteer at a trail near you! Trail workdays are essential events for TORC and the local mountain biking community at large. They ensure new trail gets built, existing trail remains sustainable, and that we maintain strong relationships with local public and private land managers.   TORC’s races are a great way to meet other local mountain bikers and compete.  TORC holds several races per year. Each race usually has multiple categories, so that you can compete with others at your skill level as individuals or as a team.  New trail development (and maintenance of existing trails) is important to the preservation of open space and encourages a healthy lifestyle for bikers of all ages. As dedicated stewards of the environment, TORC employs the International Mountain Biking Association’s (IMBA) trail-building best practices.  TORC has built strong relationships with Park and Recreation Departments in Wake, Durham, and Orange counties. We also have working relationships with private land developers. These partnerships provide local mountain bikers with opportunities for trail access while protecting the future of existing trails. TORC holds local group rides nearly year-round throughout the various trails for all different skills levels, with beginner rides being some of our most popular. These rides allow participants to meet new people, learn new skills and trail systems, and have fun. Keep an eye on our event calendar - visit [http://www.meetup.com/torc-nc#calendar](http://www.meetup.com/torc-nc#calendar). Search for “Triangle Off-Road Cyclists” and connect with other local mountain bikers on [https://www.facebook.com/pages/Triangle-Off-Road-Cyclist-TORC/179388852095254.](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Triangle-Off-Road-Cyclist-TORC/179388852095254)  Help us continue to promote, build, and maintain mountain biking in the Triangle.
