St. Albert Bike Association

We’ll be accepting membership renewals as soon as we get the details with our new insurance provider finalized. Stay tuned here for more info and the link to sign up!

Group rides will also begin once our membership registration details are confirmed ASAP!! While you’re waiting, consider downloading TeamApp or registering online to make sure you get all the group ride notifications to your phone or inbox as soon as they come out!

We do apologize for the delay – it’s taken us longer to get things set up than we were expecting!

It seems every year around this time like we’re saying goodbye to summer and starting to prepare ourselves for the long winter months ahead. Last week we finished off our official group rides for the 2014 season, and I’d like to say thanks to everyone that joined us for both the recreational rides and our mountain bike rides!

We hope everyone had fun and that we’ll see you out with us next year!

Depending on how favourable the weather stays over these next weeks and months we’ll run ‘unofficial’ group rides when opportunity permits. Because they’ll be scheduled fairly last minute we’ll be using more ‘real-time’ media to announce them than our website. Please follow us on twitter, or subscribe to our group on facebook to make sure you get our messages. Group ride announcements will also be sent out to our membership email list in case you don’t use the above social media sites.

Our 2014 group ride schedule has been set and posted! The first group rides start on June 5th and this year we’ll be running both mountain bike rides and recreational rides on Thursday nights.  You choose how you want to ride!

Our mountain bike group rides will take place in Edmonton and will be staged out of either Terwillegar or Emily Murphy Park, depending on the date.  Recreational rides will take place in St. Albert and will start at the statues behind St. Albert Place.

As a liability requirement of our affiliation to the Alberta Bicycle Association, membership is required for attending our group rides, however you can always ‘test drive’ a ride once before making the commitment to join SABA.

For anyone interested in mountain biking, we encourage you to come to our May 29th Mountain Bike Clinic.  We’ll use this event to assess your skills and show you some of the features and terrain you’re likely to encounter on one of our off road group rides.  This is an all-skills, all-ages event and is intended to demonstrate and assess the necessary skills for riding your bike off-road.

Also, don’t forget that members of SABA can attend any of Cranky’s group rides by simply showing your SABA membership card and providing a little information for record-keeping.

Check out our events calendar for SABA rides and Cranky’s events page for their group ride schedule.

Helmets are mandatory, and don’t forget your water!

SABA group rides run rain or shine, but in the event of severe weather or other last minute changes, please watch our facebook or twitter page for last minute updates!
