anyone know of some good tri groups to join in the SF Bay Area...would prefer the peninsula area. I think it is time to step it up a level and need some inspiration to go there! and would love to find someone to train with.

I like TRIbe.  My husband joined 4 years ago and loves it, my sons and I just joined it.  Low key, but lots of levels, and many options for workouts and social.

Mostly they're Cupertino down to Almaden Valley in terms of meeting places, it seems.  Weds night rides, Tues night track, sat and sun member led workouts.  A whole big group going to Wildflower in 10, yes, OMG, 10 days.

I belong to Silicon Valley Tri Club and I love it. There are so many different workouts to chose from and some of them are coached.

I do the coached Tues. evening track workout, the Wed. Podium swim program (also coached), the Thurs. member-led ride, the Sat. New to the Sport program (coached) and Sunday OWS (coached). There is also a member-led run on Thurs. and a member-led bike ride on Sat.

Everyone is very friendly and welcome to a newbie too.

Not really a tri group but swim-art does group open water swims, you might want to check them out.

Silicon valley Tri all the way!

As the earlier poster mentioned, we have more coached training sessions than typical plus social events, monthly meetings with raffles, and discounts to events and stores.

People are cool and range from beginners to experienced Ironman competitors.

I just signed up with Forward Motion 3 weeks ago, they are legit and not click at all. wed night runs in danville, tuesday morning track sessions, friday night swims, and saturday bike rides, not to mention all of the various invites to train with amazing athletes. Sign up it is worth it!

I just signed up with Forward Motion too - I've been to one swim workout so far and really enjoyed it.  They were really welcoming to someone who isn't what people would consider your 'typical' triathlete

I'm looking for a Tri club in the city as well. Does anyone have any experience with SF Tri club or Golden Gate Tri Club?

I'm with GGTC and I picked GGTC for a very arbitrary reason.  I know folks who are in both.  I see both at all the local races, so you likely can't go wrong with either one.  I think SF Tri may have more posted workoust and GGTC has more coaches involved.  Probably can't go wrong with either one.
