Big Ring Challenge may be next on the calendar, but Bear 6/3 at YPT is waiting right behind it.

The Bear 6/3 returns to Yonah Preserve Trails in Cleveland, Georgia, on November 28. It’s race number three in the Southeastern Endurance Series and a pretty great reason to spend Thanksgiving weekend riding bikes.

Choose three hours or six, bring the family, and trade a little holiday couch time for trail time.

Who’s planning to take on The Bear this year?

We’re stoked to host the season opener in the Georgia Cycling Association 2026 Northside Hospital Race Series! Have a great race weekend, ride strong, safe, and share those pictures!

We are about 12 hours away from The Cleveland Climb, the first race in the 2026 Northside Hospital Race Series. Some folks will be taking home this hardware tomorrow. And hopefully everyone has fun while unlocking a new level of personal achievement. We will see you at the climb!

Stan Crane and Northeast Georgia SORBA is organizing a cleanup of downed trees at Unicoi State Park mountain bike trails. We have sawyers, but need some volunteers to assist in “swamping”, or helping clear debris as it is cut. The first work day is set for Thursday June 04. Meeting in Helen at 10:30am at Unicoi Hill parking lot and walking the Helen to Unicoi trail in to where it crosses the mountain bike trail. I know it is last minute, but is anyone available to help? If so, let me know and I can get you contact information and more details. Thanks.
