Catalyst Sports Challenge for Access - Join the Team!
Can you ride 6, 12, or 24 hours in June for a powerful cause?
Join SORBA Chattanooga’s team for the Challenge for Access, Catalyst Sports’ signature fundraiser supporting adaptive mountain biking. We’re aiming to raise $5,000 to help ensure people with physical disabilities have access to the freedom, joy, and community that trails provide.
Every mile you ride and every dollar you raise helps Catalyst expand inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities—like adaptive ride days, equipment access, and support networks across the Southeast.
Why join us?
Your miles make a difference for adaptive athletes
The top SORBA chapter wins a fully supported Adaptive Ride Day at their local trails
You could win a $100 gift card from Cognative MTB
Most importantly, you're helping build a trail community where everyone belongs
Whether you're racing toward 24 hours or cruising through 6, let's show what the Chattanooga MTB community is made of. Ride, fundraise, or cheer us on—every action helps make trails more inclusive.
Let’s ride for access. Let’s ride for everyone.

Five Points 50/25 Course Preview Ride with Lula Lake
Get ready to dial in your lines and explore the best terrain Lookout Mountain has to offer with SORBA Chattanooga and Lula Lake Land Trust as we lead a series of Five Points 50/25 Course Preview Rides leading up to the big race on Oct. 25th! Whether you're racing this year or just want to experience some epic trails with a solid crew, these preview rides are for you. Can't make this one? No worries- we will be hosting multiple group rides throughout the year, and each ride will showcase different sections of the course and give you a chance to get comfortable with the terrain before race day.
About the ride: This ride will be 8 miles with an elevation gain of 850 vertical feet. The course will be marked so you can choose to ride ahead of the group or stay behind. The section of the race course covered will include the trails on Lula Lake's Core Preserve property. These trails are mostly single track with a combination of long climbs, downhills, technical rock gardens, and smooth flowy trails. These rides will roll at a social pace, but the terrain is no joke—expect a mix of flow, roots, and climbs that will keep you on your toes. No one will be left behind!

Women's Mountain Bike Day
On May 3, we’re throwing down for Women’s Mountain Bike Day at Durham Mine Trails, and YOU’RE INVITED.

Trail Love First – We’re kicking things off at 9 AM with a trail stewardship session because good trails don’t build themselves. Expect zero mansplaining, max stoke, and plenty of high fives as we dig, shape, and give back to the land that gives us so much.
Rides for Every Flavor – After lunch, we’ll break into group rides: mild, medium, and spicy. Whether you’re just starting out or sending drops, we’ve got a ride (and rad ride leaders) for you. No bike? No problem! Outdoor Chattanooga will have bikes and first-time rider instruction—this is your moment to dive in!
Post-Ride Chill – Cold drinks, trail tales, and celebration vibes to wrap up an epic day together.
This space is for anyone who identifies with and feels at home in a women’s space. We’re here to lift each other up, push our limits, and laugh until our faces hurt.
