The Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) is the largest nonprofit mountain biking organization in the Southeast. Our members work with land managers in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee to create trails and trail systems for mountain bikers and other users to enjoy. Through advocacy, education, and recreational opportunities, SORBA carries out its mission to promote land access, trail preservation, and new trail development in order to enhance mountain bike touring, racing, fun, and fellowship for all mountain bicyclists in the southeastern United States.
We have partnered with the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) and now represent over 4,000 members who help steward miles and miles of great trails in a seven-state area. The best riding in the Southeast is found on trails maintained by our volunteers. Our members love singletrack, rocks, roots, and logs, and we employ IMBA's trailbuilding practices to ensure that our trails are sustainable and challenging.
IMBA-SORBA relies on our wonderful members to carry out our mission. Our volunteers donate thousands of hours each year to advocate for trail access, build trails, and maintain trails. IMBA-SORBA volunteers take pride in their work, and it shows in the trails that they build. Our digital news magazine, the Fat Tire Times, showcases member involvement, advocacy issues, trail information and much more. Join IMBA-SORBA today!

Olde Rope Mill Park Mountain Bike Trails Construction Begins |
|
Sunday, 11 April 2010 |
SORBA Woodstock has begun construction on the Taylor Randahl
Memorial Trails at Olde  Rope Mill Park in Woodstock, GA.
These trails were made possible by the City of Woodstock, Georgia, when
their City Council voted last year to provide $150,000 of funding in their 2010
budget to build approximately 10 miles of single track on some ideal terrain on
both sides of the Little River that runs through the park. SORBA Woodstock also received valuable
support from Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) in the form of a $10,000 grant
targeted for this project. The first phase of this intermediate trail system
will be a five mile loop on the south side of the river. The trail is named in memory of Taylor
Randahl, a Cherokee County high school mountain biker who was tragically killed
in a road cycling accident on April 14, 2000.
