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.
