Welcome to
SORBA-CSRA!
SORBA-CSRA is the
Central Savannah River Area chapter of Southern
Off-Road Bicycle Association. SORBA-CSRA
is a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization formed to promote trail
preservation and development, riding, fun and
fellowship for all mountain bicyclists in the
Central Savannah River Area of South Carolina
and Georgia. This website is published as a
means of keeping members (and non-members)
informed of current issues, rides, work
parties and other local
events.
SORBA-CSRA has meetings
on the 2nd Tuesday of every month upstairs at
Nacho Mamas, in downtown Augusta. Meeting
starts at 7:30, get there early if you plan
to eat. The meetings are open to
everyone, not just chapter members. Come
voice your opinion on a local issue, or just
to meet new people to ride with. And, the
burritos' are good!

| NEW FORUM TOPIC: The women
of SORBA/CSRA now have their own area on our
forums, called the Fat Tire Foxes. Look
under the General section, second topic. This
is the area for women to discuss mountain
biking and share advice.

FATS Needs Your
Help
4

Great Wall trails. 4 wheelers are Not allowed on
any trails at FATS. Anyone seeing a 4 wheeler on
the FATS trails, please take a picture, note the
location, day and time and send the information to
anyone of the officers. The officers emails can be
found by clicking the Contact
button.

FATS and all other
Trails Status: See wet trail policy
below
Wet Trail Policy
This is the time of season when the
trail does not absorb as much water as during other
times of the year. Riding a wet trail will cause
damage to the trail surface. No, one bike will not
cause the damage, but many bikes will. Riding a wet
trail will also cause damage to your bike (chain,
gears and shifting). Please respect the trail and
your bike and wait as least 24 hours
after a rain to ride a trail. If you do
encounter a wet spot on the trail, Do Not ride
around, ride in the water. By riding around the
water, you cause "trail creep". Trail creep will
result in total trail closure. In other words, Stay
On The Trail.
