In spite of Covid, SABA has accomplished several club objectives, including:
- Murphy Learning Center Nature Trail: club members helped build a nature trail and contributed a cash donation
- Group Road Rides resumed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays (currently suspended until spring).
- Group Mountain Bike rides resumed at Jackrabbit Trail System on Wednesday evenings (currently suspended until spring).
- Group Gravel Rides are new this year for the Club – rides announced on SABA Facebook
- Rails to Trails (Murphy to Andrews): SABA is now a Sponsor
- League of American Bicyclists (LAB): SABA joined LAB which includes over 1,200 clubs across the USA advocating for bike lanes and safer streets. Through the membership SABA now has better insurance coverage at a lower rate which enabled us to reduce our membership fees.
- Jackrabbit Trail System Expansion: the trail was expanded 5 miles rated as advanced / expert.
- Piney Knob Trail System Expansion: PK is now 13 miles with the recent expansion.
- Piney Knob Trail System Recognition: PK was 1 of only 10 trail systems in the country in 2021 to receive a National Recreation Trail designation from the Federal Dept of the Interior.
- SABA Sponsorship Program: The Club initiated a Sponsorship program. We now have 7 sponsors
- Murphy Shop with a Cop: SABA supported the Shop with a Cop program – we purchased 3 kids bikes and made a cash donation. We plan to continue this program annually, rotating from city to city.
- Share the Road: To raise awareness within the community of cyclists, the club distributed “Share the Road” stickers to club members and participants of the group road bike rides.
- SABA Membership: we currently have 75 members!
