π‘ Ever wonder where your $39/year membership goes?
We recently took a deeper look at how a SORBA membership supports both local trails and the larger mountain bike community. Hereβs the breakdown:
π΅ 40% ($15.60) β Directly back to your local chapter
π‘οΈ 15.4% ($6.00) β Liability insurance for trail workdays & events
π₯ 28.3% ($11.04) β Regional staff support
π 7.1% ($2.77) β Training, summits, and education for chapter leaders
π± 5.5% ($2.16) β Membership platform & app support
π’ 2.3% ($0.88) β Operational overhead
π 1.4% ($0.55) β SORBA staff travel
That means over 55% of your membership directly supports local trails, trail work, and chapter operations β while another 36.8% helps sustain advocacy, education, and regional support across the Southeast.
Your membership is more than a sticker or a number β it helps build trails, maintain equipment, support volunteers, and grow the riding community we all enjoy.
Thank you for supporting trails in East Central Georgia and beyond. π²π΅
