SOB Cycling: Spokes Over Blokes (Women's Cycling Group)

Morrisville, NC

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

Stitch & B!T@# - Crafty Crafters Club - The Triangle

Raleigh, NC

This group is for those of us that enjoy the company of others and doing arts and crafts. Crocheters and Knitters welcome! Want to learn or a seasoned professional... everyone is welcome. Not only are crochet and knitters but ANY crafters, whatever your style, come hang out in our inclusive and positive group.

I have recently joined a group called Crochet for Cancer where you can donate items you make. If any would like to check it out here is the link: https://crochetforcancer.org/.

Due to COVID and the stress it brings, I wanted to find something I could do while meeting new people, getting to know the area and doing one of my favorite hobbies. But also practicing social distancing and staying safe. I enjoy the outdoors and thought that this would be a great opportunity to gather those with similar interests. Of course depending on the weather, I will chose locations around the Triangle and outside to accommodate the many locations of those in this group. Feel free to message me for details, any questions you may have, or suggestions.

A little about me: I moved here before the pandemic and have not met very many people in the area. I am hoping to make some new friends while practicing social distancing, getting to know the area, and it’s people while doing one of my favorite hobbies. I have many hobbies, the obvious being crocheting, but I also like to paint, play video games, play with my dogs, scrap book, gardening (even though I am terrible at it), explore the outdoors and have great adventures. I have a wonderful son who is 8, going on 15, we like to do lots of crafter and hang out outside. I have moved around to many great places in my life and moved here to NC to be closer to my baby boy. <br>

With that I look forward to getting to know everyone! I am terrible with names. ;D

The Raleigh Epic Rides Group

Raleigh, NC

Note: We are currently closed off for membership but selectively taking new members in order to maintain a level of safety on our rides. As noted below, we are primarily sport bike and sport touring riders. Please contact the group organizer and give some info about yourself, style of riding, experience level, and type of motorcycle you ride to determine if you are a good fit. Again, we keep our group in private status so that we can focus on safety and attract riders that will fit well into our group. We highly encourage newer sport riders to join as well.

What IS an "epic ride" ? Websters defines epic as " majestic, impressively great". That's what were striving for with this Meetup group. A chance to meet some wonderful new riders that you might have otherwise just waved at as you passed them on the road, but also to have some "epic" rides to various destinations. Whether it's a trip to VIR for a weekend race, an overnight mountain camping ride, a cruise through the country side down to the beach, or just a weeknight get together to tear up some backroads, we're in search of the epic ride.

We're geared more towards the mature sport bike and sport tourer rider and are proud to have members from various ethic and cultural backgrounds as well as orientations. The only thing we ask is that you be safety minded, mature, and have a sense of adventure. I am happy to say this is a wonderful group of individuals that I have shared some amazing rides with.

So stop posing at the local watering hole and get out there and RIDE ! We've got some great ideas for destination rides coming up, so come on in and join up !
