St. Albert Bike Association

The proposed bike skills park once again went in front of Council yesterday (Sept 23rd).

Council was presented a report describing three different site proposals. Each site was scored based on a common set of criteria, and the top two sites were presented to Council as recommendations to host the skills park.

Each location has it’s own unique set of benefits, and we’re excited to announce that Council gave approval to go ahead with the next step of the project – public consultation – for both recommended sites!

Stay tuned here and on our facebook pages for details as we progress towards the next steps in this fantastic project!

Our last official group ride for the season was Sept 15, and I just wanted to thank everyone that came out for one (or more) of our rides! I couldn’t be happier with the support I received throughout the season and I’m looking forward to seeing you all in 2014.

Things will definitely not be quiet for us through the winter months, even though most of us will have hung our bikes up for the year. Keep an eye on this site and our facebook page for updates on the proposed Bike Skills Park, 2014 membership info, workshops, and events we’re planning on hosting or attending!

In the meantime, stay warm and enjoy these few remaining days before the snow flies!

Hey everyone! Hope you’re enjoying what’s left of our summer! We’ve had a lot of great riding days, but it sure seems like we’ve had a lot more rain-outs! Here’s a little update with all the latest happenings with SABA.

It’s Official!

Shortly after we ‘opened shop’ we submitted our application to the province to become a non-profit association. Well I’m excited to announce that we FINALLY received our approval package in the mail! St. Albert Bike Association is officially registered with the province as a not-for-profit organization!

Bike Skills Park

SABA is working diligently with the City of St. Albert to identify and score some new locations for the proposed Bike Skills Park. Three new locations have been found as suitable options and we’ve worked with the City to choose the top two recommendations. Once we have more details to release, they’ll be posted both here on the website, as well as our Facebook pages too. Stay tuned!

Group Rides

We’ve had some awesome group rides and turnout has been fairly steady each week at between 5 to 9 riders each time. This is a fantastic start for our little club, and we’re hoping to see this grow as the weeks go on! If you’ve joined us for a group ride and you’ve enjoyed it, you should consider joining the club and showing your support!
