South Bay Indoor / Outdoor Activities Group (SBIO)

Let's enjoy this 5.4-mile loop trail hike together again. It is near Cupertino, California, at the Rancho San Antonio County Park.

You can find details on our usual hike route here:

Lower Meadow, Rogue Valley, Wildcat Loop, Farm Bypass, and Coyote on AllTrails

The hike is considered a moderately challenging intermediate hike. It takes an average of 2 hours to complete. This is a popular trail for hiking and running, and it can still afford us some peaceful and quiet moments during our afternoon hike. If you are not confident about doing a 5.4 mile hike in 2 hours, then this might not be a hike for you.

Besides hiking, good exercise, and pleasant conversations, we also enjoy making new friends and building good and solid relationships with old friends.

PARKING: LOT #6 NEAR PUBLIC BATHROOM. If the #6 is full, please go to park @ #5 #4........ Etc..

When you pull in the entrance, make the right turn right away, drive straight to find LOT#6, and the big bathroom building right on the left. You won't miss it.

As a group, we are following current county guidelines that do not require face masks.

PLEASE try NOT to bring up the inflammatory subjects that can easily lead to arguments such as politics, religion, genders, racism etc..

Also, please be nice, kind, and help us welcome new members who join us for the first time and make them feel like one of us.

We are starting early the potluck earlier to enjoy the time before bowling starts at 7pm.

This is the last holiday event this year :) We have had a lot of fun this year. I know a lot of us have made so many priceless memories (especially me), and the many friends we have made along the way have brought us together each Monday night.

And we will start Bowling @ 7:00pm. Please join in 🎳😊

Join in for a fun bowling night 😇. It's a great way to make friends and do something fun. The lanes will be available for us as we have this reserved time. Please try to be on time and RSVP early.

We should be done early 9ish.

The games will be $6.50 each. Bowling shoes rental is $5.50 (if needed). Please bring cash and pay to the organizer, as we pay all in one transaction for our discount. We all normally play 2 games, but you are welcome to play less or more games.

They have drinks and food-- the food and drink menu is extensive, so you can order dinner, with a full selection of beer, drinks, and soda. 🍕🍻🍹

We also welcome beginners-- even come if you never bowled before. We can put up automatic bumpers on your turn-- so anyone with any experience level is most welcome. We have people that are bowling at all levels.

If you think the night is young at 9pm -- it continues. There is Karaoke in the bar area after bowling. It starts 9ish. Please join in the fun there. Also, you can likely stick around to play a 3rd game of bowling to keep the fun going. There is always a group that wants to keep socializing and having fun

Just some details to make it fun for all of us -- Cancellation within 2 hours of start will be marked as a no-show. Also please note if you late (like after 15 minutes of start time), there is no guarantee that you will have a spot, so try to message if you will be late. It's best to come on time, if not early, as it's courteous for others. Though you can make it at anytime.

Try to follow bowling etiquette. Be courteous and respect other bowlers, and wait for the person next to you to bowl.

When you arrive, come inside near the front desk where we are at. We are normally on the right-side when you walk in around lane 25. You may also ask the front clerk where the meetup group is at anytime. Feel free to invite any friends/family. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👪😎
