SORBA-Chattanooga

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to improve Chattanooga mountain biking opportunities through trail maintenance, advocacy and community events. As an IMBA affiliated club we work with land managers and policymakers to keep the trails you ride open to mountain biking. In addition to leading group rides, our volunteers design develop, construct and maintain trails. You are welcome to attend any of our events. Just show up and introduce yourself!

Trail Volunteers Needed

Please help us expand trail opportunities in the greater Chattanooga-area. If you are a mountain biker, hiker, trail runner, or nature lover that would like to see the construction of more trails, please contact our trails director.
