SBA Open House Weekends
Everyone is welcome to join us at our open house weekends.
This is a very casual weekend designed for members to socialize
and for non-members to become more familiar with SBA Headquarters.
Off-road rides generally leave from SBA HQ between 9 am and
10 am on Saturday and Sunday. Riders usually discuss where
the rides take place. Road Rides are sometimes organized for
the weekend, but maps are available at headquarters if you
wish to ride on your own. Please see the Road-Riding page
for more information.
