FORBA

We have had lots of new faces show up after shared a video of some of our new trails at Salem Lake so we'd like to introduce ourselves.

In 2016, we set out to start organizing Winston-Salem’s mountain bike community in order to provide some continuity in trail building practices and have a larger voice to accomplish some lofty goals. We also wanted to build a team and process for properly maintaining our existing trails. Out of our efforts came FORBA (Forsyth Off Road Bicycle Association)

Since then we have been collaborating with trail users and partnering with City/County staff to manage our existing trails and build new ones! We host a monthly meeting where the public can share input on trails and future endeavors, community workdays, and social group rides. We are completely donor funded and every dollar donated goes right back into the trail system.

Thanks for checking us out! See you on the trails.

Forecast for this weekend: 100% chance of sendy.

If you aren’t in our Trail Work Chat group, you may not be getting all the updates on what’s happening. Check it out and join here: https://wix.app/mobile.apps/aQ9aA8B?ref=2_m_cl

We’ve got more work approved than ever before and we need your help to get it done!

This Is Our Year - And We Need Your Help We've been building toward this moment for a long time.Since FORBA was founded in 2016, we've been chipping away — managing maintenance, raising a few hundred dollars for signs, then a few thousand for bridges, then landing a formal partnership with the City of Winston-Salem that changed everythin...

FORBA volunteers making things sendy for your weekend. The kicker and landing have been rebuilt on Drop Line at Salem Lake. More to come for the BMXers. Stay tuned!

Big props to the Tanglewood crew and the Forsyth County Parks and Rec dept for getting this bridge replaced so quickly. The Parks and Rec dept paid for and had the lumber delivered quickly and the crew jumped on the construction. It was only down for a couple of weeks. We really appreciate all of the hard work and cooperation!

We are coming into the thaw part of the freez-thaw cycle which is the worst time to be on the trails. They are going to be slushy and super muddy over the next few days until we get hit with more precipitation. Please give the trails some time to dry out before attempting to ride them. Thanks!

There have been some new signs going up at your favorite local trails and you may be wondering what they’re all about. In this new blogpost, explains why we don’t want to blow leaves. Link below.

Come on out this Saturday to help make the newest trail, Castle Run, a reality! We’ve got all the tools and even a free lunch thanks to Please RSVP on the website so we know how much food to order for lunch.

Join us this Saturday from 8am-12pm to help add a new trail to the Dragon’s Lair Kid’s Mountain Bike Area. For more information or to RSVP head on over to our website!
