After 25+ years of safe but adventurous riding I have decided to share my knowledge with those that wish to explore the back roads of VA, MD, WV and quite honestly anywhere the bikes take us! If you want to ride the beltway, sit in traffic, eat at the chain fast food places this group is not for you. My plan is to show you roads that few travel and vittles from those mom and pop sorta places - you know the ones - that serve real food - real good and maybe even some great ice cream that takes 50 …

2 years ago there was a similar tennis meetup held in Herndon, and I had a lot of fun playing there, and met a lot of nice people. Unfortunately, the meetup ended when the weather got cold, so I've taken it upon myself to start another up. Meetups are held at the Herndon Community Center/Bready Park or Bruin Park courts. There are 6 outdoor courts available (2 at Bruin Park), though some are reserved at certain times for tennis lessons. There is no fee to use the courts though, and any non-reser …

Our goal is to join with local dancers in Ballroom, Latin, Salsa & Rueda, Hustle, Swing, Argentine Tango & more of all levels to increase everyone's skills in this dynamic and incredibly popular sport called DanceSport. Most events are in social settings outside of the typical bar and night club scene & are open to everyone. Membership approval is not required. There are many opportunities for training since in the US (unlike in Europe) many don't know the social dances. So we're making trainin …

If your like me, you not only find marathons and running boring but frankly their impractical - unless your running from the long-arm of the law.... Obstacle course races like Spartan, Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash or military, survival and scavenger hunt style challenges such as Go Ruck, SERE Performance and others require more than a trip to your local gym for cross-fit. You need to train your mind as well as your body. So I challenge you to alter your approach, change the way you think and train …

Looking for folks who like flea markets, estate sales, auctions, yard sales, the thrill of the hunt. I'm in Arlington. We could get together to figure out the best sales, either go sales together, share tables at sales, talk ebay or live auction strategy, or learn about what we like collecting. Since I started watching Market Warriors (PBS) and auctioning some things as well, I'm obsessed! The sale I am most familiar with is Arlington's Civitan Sale, one Sunday each month from April through Octo …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

The goal isn't to get a lot of members, just the right ones. See a map that plots where our members live The mailing list (dckayakers-list@meetup.com) and message board can be used by any m …
