About Paulding SORBA

Paulding SORBA is a chapter of SORBA, the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association, an IMBA affiliated club. Paulding Sorba's mission is to promote mountain biking in and around Paulding County, Georgia through land access, trail preservation and new trail development. We employ IMBA's trailbuilding practices to ensure that our trails are sustainable and challenging. Currently, Paulding SORBA is involved in maintaining the Super Silver Comet Sidetrail which runs parallel to the Silver Comet trail. Once completed, this intermediate, but challenging, single-track trail will extend 8 miles from the the Hiram Silver Comet Trailhead (the ChainStation Bike shop) to the Pumpkin Vine Creek train trestle. The trail is ready to ride now, however some sections that are still under construction will force a rider to ride on the paved Silver Comet trail and re-enter the dirt. TRAIL IS MARKED WITH A BLUE SQUARE AND A WHITE ARROW on trees going east and west. Directions to the Silver Comet trail can be found at Trail Express. Please join us for a ride, work party, or meeting.
