Join our Chapter:
There are two ways for individuals to financially support our trails here in the Pisgah Ranger District. One option is to join our SORBA chapter as an official member of the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA), and another is to donate directly to Pisgah Area SORBA. Both options are available to everyone, and they’re not mutually exclusive! All are encouraged to both join our membership and donate directly to our cause.
Joining our Chapter as an IMBA Member includes perks such as:
Pro deals through expertvoice.com
Cognitive MTB discounts (20% off online purchases)
Free digital subscription to Mountain Bike Action magazine
A discount on a new Subaru via our VIP program. Click here for complete details.
15% discount on Water-to-Go bottles.
Want to keep your money strictly local?
While our portion of membership dues only cover a small portion of our operating budget, being a chapter of SORBA provides our organization with insurance coverage when working on property such as Richmond Hill, resources for chapter development, and the ability to represent mountain bikers in high level advocacy conversations with state and regional officials. IMBA represents mountain biking at the national and international level and works directly with federal and state officials to ensure mountain bikers continue to have access to trails while also working to expand access for mountain bikers.
Some folks aren’t as interested in the regional and national advocacy and are more motivated to keep their dollars as local as possible. We also provide an opportunity to donate directly to Pisgah Area SORBA, in which case we receive 100% of the donation.
No matter how you choose to support the trails, we appreciate your commitment to helping us maintain and improve our singletrack here in the Pisgah Ranger District!
