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!

National Trails Day

Celebrate National Trails Day with SORBA Chattanooga, TVA and Hamilton County.

National Trails Day is almost here—and what better way to celebrate than giving back to the trails we love? Join SORBA Chattanooga for a day of trail stewardship at two awesome locations!

Enterprise South Nature Park – Help us refresh Hercules Trail with drainage clearing, tread touch-ups, and a little extra TLC to keep it riding smooth and fast.

Raccoon Mountain – It’s time for a haircut! We’ll focus on trimming back overgrowth and clearing sight lines to get Raccoon ready for a big season of riding after the TVA closure.

Pick your project, bring your stoke, and we'll provide the tools, lunch, and good vibes. No experience necessary—just a love for trails and a willingness to dig in!
