On October 26th, SORBA Woodstock and Mountain Goat Adventures hosted an off-road duathlon and 5k trail run at Rope Mill Park in Woodstock, GA to help raise funds for SORBA Woodstock to be put towards future trail development at the park. The 2013 event was the largest yet, with the addition of a 5k trail run – giving non-bikers a chance to participate in the event. The duathlon, which consisted of a six-mile bike, three-mile run and six-mile bike segments, drew 165 solo and team competitors and another 70 runners participated in the trail run.

USFS Volunteers on Hiatus During Shutdown

Thu, 10/03/2013 - 1:51pm — robina

 

Dear Trail Volunteers,

Unfortunately, all of the great work done by our volunteers must cease today as part of the government shutdown.  The VIF volunteer agreements that allow you to work on the National Forest are not in effect during the shutdown.  I know many of you are very committed and want to keep volunteering.  Please continue to keep planning and be ready to get back to work when the shutdown is over. 

Thanks for all you do and your patience.  

Please share this with other trail volunteers.

Tsali'bration Debuts October 11-12

Mon, 08/26/2013 - 6:52am — robina

Most, if not all, of you have heard of and probably ridden at Tsali.  The original Right and Left loops were built in the early 80’s by a local Backcountry Horseman’s Association in conjunction with the Forest Service.  Then came the Thompson and Mouse Branch loops spearheaded by a dedicated group of off-road bike enthusiasts from NOC.  Over the ensuing years, thousands of people have enjoyed the remote experience that Tsali has to offer.  It’s time to return the love and come help maintain the trails at Tsali.
