Why Join? Impact & Benefits

SORBA uses the word association in its name for a reason. We’re a formal group of like-minded people who want to ride their mountain bikes and have a great time doing it. Individuals are the heart of our organization, but one person can’t do it alone. We’ve come together, as an association, to be stronger, to have our voice heard. And we have been heard. Just look around the region at the great trails and strong chapters we have, and you know it’s working.

That’s the real power of membership. Your membership makes all trails possible.

SORBA and our chapters rely on our generous members to carry out our mission. Membership dues are shared between SORBA and your local chapter to help fund both local efforts and regional initiatives across the Southeast. Check out our latest Impact Report to learn about our accomplishments achieved thanks to our members, volunteers, and donors.
