Bike trails are fun; Hiking trails are awesome; snowshoe trails are great exercise.
But not everyone has discovered that yet. So it’s not always easy to find cycling partners, hiking buddies, or snowshoeing pals… until MeetUp came along. If you haven’t discovered it yet, MeetUp is a social networking site that does more than just connect you on the internet. Oh, it starts on the internet, but then it goes the next big step and helps you organize events where you can join like-minded individuals in real life.
You will find Meetup groups for nearly every possible human interest; and if you don’t find a group for your interest, you can start one. You’ll be amazed how many people are out there who share similar interests with you. So if you’re into riding your bike on trails, you could sign up for a group like West Denver Trails or Denver Bicycle Touring Club or Buffalo hikers or Miami Trikkers or New Orleans Trail Runners or Spokane Snowshoers or …
Here’s a little YouTube clip of what MeetUp is all about. This clip is vintage since it was made in 2008, but it is one of the better introductory clips out there. A more recent video montage can be found here and is a good followup to the clip below:
