WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
There are many ways to get involved with UCSORBA:
Volunteering / Work Parties
Join us for a work day, many hands make for light work. No trail building experience is required. Check out the schedule and come out with work clothes, sturdy shoes, and some water. We’ll provide all the trail tools, building techniques, and we’ll even feed you and quench your thirst.
Ride Local UC Trails
Just as important as building, our trails need to be ridden! Join us for meet-ups and group rides, tag us on the socials and introduce a friend to both the trails and UCSORBA. Let's show our community that the Upper Cumberland region has a community of mountain bikers.

Support Local NICA Riders
At Upper Cumberland SORBA, we believe that the best way to protect our trails is to empower the next generation of riders who will roam them. That’s why we are proud to support NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) right here in Putnam County and across the Plateau. NICA isn't just about racing; it’s about building strong minds, brave hearts, and character through mountain biking. By fostering a love for the dirt in our local youth, we aren't just growing a team; we’re growing the future advocates, trail builders, and stewards of the Upper Cumberland. Whether you're a student ready to ride or a coach ready to lead, there’s a place for you in the pack. Let’s ride the Plateau!
