This meetup offers two meetup activities, each of which I enjoy greatly and look forward to sharing time outdoors with others who come to these meetup events. The first is organizing these non-competitive social triathlons described below.  A second activity is organizing longer trail runs in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Social Triathlons! After doing a few competitive triathlons myself, a friend gave me the idea to create my own friends based, non competitive, "social" triathlon events. Unlike re …

Welcome! We are San Jose Mountain Biking Our group’s purpose is simple.  We want to get people out riding whenever and wherever possible.  As the Organizer of SJ Mtb, I’m dedicated to helping people get out on the bike more often.  I don’t care if you ride every day of the week or just a few times a month.  I don’t care if you only ride with us or if you ride with lots of different groups.  Mountain Biking for me isn’t a popularity contest, it’s a way of life.  We’re not out to have the most me …

The dances are taught by well-known instructor Michael Murphy, whose teaching is welcoming, inclusiv …

Transform every aspect of your life. “The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human." John Naisbitt, Author - Megatrends Too often, we attempt to compartmentalize our lives into the roles we play: boss, mother, co-worker, sister, accountant, caretaker, or husband. There are so many hats to wear and only so many hours in which to get everything done. At the end of the day we're left wonderi …

So, join this group if you: are an adult over 21 years of age, have DIY/craft projects th …

Tell me if any of these sound familiar: “I just wish I had the time — then I’d do my creative thing.” “I want to… but I don’t have the talent.

It's about time we as Americans opened our eyes to the reality that the old plan of "saving" just isn't working! Too many retirees are back to work, and that trend is just going to get worse. What can …
