Introductory Mountain Bike Group Ride!

Hey St. Albert!  Thinking about giving mountain biking a try, but aren’t sure what skills you’d need?  Come join us for an introductory mountain biking group ride in Terwillegar Park, Tuesday evening!

This ride will be run at a slower pace than our usual MTB rides, and will give you an opportunity to whet your appetite for off-road riding!

Join our ride leader Brady in the Terwillegar Parking lot (look for a black Mazda CX5, and a black and yellow bike), ride begins at 7pm SHARP – please arrive early!

SABA MTB group rides are rain or shine (pending extreme weather conditions). Riders are expected to be comfortable with riding singletrack and be skilled enough to handle the features and hazards that present on such a ride.

Ride schedules are posted on our website events calendar and our teamapp site as well.

Helmets are mandatory for any SABA group ride. Group rides are for members only but you’re welcome to come for a “test drive” once before deciding to purchase a membership. More details can be found on our website (www.bikestalbert.ca).

For up-to-date information on group rides (last minute cancellations, meeting location changes, etc) be sure to keep an eye on our teamapp, twitter, and facebook pages!

MTB Group Ride Tonight!

Hey #stalbert! Brady’s running our Mountain Bike Group Ride tonight weather permitting.  Keep an eye on our teamapp event for location details and to stay in the loop with the latest status updates.  At this point it’s a go!

Cycle Commuter Class

commuter

Yes the title was meant to be confusing. While cycle commuters are classy, SABA would like to see if there is interest in a class on how to safely commute from St. Albert into the downtown core. You might be surprised to know that there are better routes than St. Albert Trail; that you don’t need anything special to get a great workout, save gas (cash) and truly understand the utility of a bicycle as transportation.

If you’ve ever contemplated it we have a veteran commuter willing to share his knowledge and routes; all he needs is an audience.

If you have ever considered commuting to work and need a guided tour and some pointers please connect with Greg at macbikesalot@gmail.com

Easy to the East : Road Ride

Interested in a 30km ride East of St. Albert? Join us this Thursday, July 9th outside of Cranky’s at 6:30pm. This ride will be casual and social and paced at around 20km/hr. See the route below to know if you will be comfortable riding the route. Looking forward to enjoying the evening as it cools and the sun begins to set in the West as we head back.
