Since 1989, the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA) has worked to expand access to thoughtfully planned trails that strengthen communities across the Southeast. Today, SORBA supports a network of strong local chapters by providing the framework and resources they need to advocate for and develop well-planned, diverse trail systems that serve riders and communities alike. As the leading mountain biking organization in the region, we believe everyone should have access to the mental, physical, and social benefits that mountain biking provides.

Together with our chapters, SORBA envisions a Southeast where thriving local organizations are at the heart of healthy, vibrant, and sustainable communities—connected by accessible and progressive trail systems. Through advocacy, education, and collaboration, we empower local leaders to create and sustain trails that serve riders, families, and outdoor enthusiasts of all backgrounds.

SORBA’s work is powered by our members and volunteers. Each year, thousands of hours are dedicated to advocating for trail access, raising funds for trail development, building new trails, and maintaining existing ones. Join SORBA today or donate to help grow access to great trails across the Southeast.
