Bike Swap - New Location!

Monthly GABA Meeting – Thursday, December 11

From France to Turkey:

Weaving through Europe's Cultural Tapestry

Our speaker at the December meeting will be Don Erickson.  He spent three months in 2023 on an epic cycling odyssey, pedaling from the Atlantic shores of France all the way to Istanbul, the gateway to Asia. 

This transcontinental route of over 2,500 miles crossed nine countries and four capital cities. Along the way, he immersed himself in a rich tapestry of human history, encountering everything from Roman ruins and majestic castles to medieval cities, towering cathedrals, and historic mosques, absorbing the unique artwork and local customs of each distinct region.

Please join your fellow GABA members to hear about Don’s adventure (and feel free to bring guests). The meeting will be held in the conference room at the at the Catalina United Methodist Church at 2700 E Speedway Blvd (SW corner of Speedway and Treat) starting at 7:00 pm on Thursday, December 11, 2025. There is free parking across the street at the SE corner.

GABA members only Strava Club

We have learned that GABA members would like a member’s only Strava Club. Rather than close the existing GABA official Strava club off from public participation (because it allows GABA to promote its existence in the community), the board has created a second, closed Strava club that will be available to GABA members only.

To join the new Greater Arizona Bicycling Association (GABA) (Members Only) Strava club, log in to Strava and go to:
