Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) is a volunteer organization dedicated to ensuring the future of mountain biking in the Triangle area of North Carolina through the promotion of responsible riding, establishment and maintenance of mountain biking trails, and preservation of North Carolina's natural resources.
TORC extends a warm welcome to everybody who is interested in mountain biking. We offer group rides, clinics and events to accommodate people with different skill levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
In cooperation with our partners and land managers, TORC members help maintain some of the premier trails in the Triangle area and join together in advocating for new trails. As an extension of the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association (SORBA), TORC also assists with rides, festivals, and the advancement of off-road cycling throughout the Southeastern United States.

Important meeting to discuss plans for the mountain bike trails at Forest Ridge park. Make sure your input is heard, put this one on your calendar.
The workshop will be at the Walnut Creek Wetland center the evening of June 5, 5-7pm 2012 which is at 950 Peterson Street, Raleigh, NC 27610
The City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department will host a mountain bike cycling workshop for Forest Ridge Park to take comments and suggestions for proposed sustainable trails to be built using Recreational Trail Grant funds. In August of 2011, the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department was awarded a Recreational Trails Grant in the amount of $75,000 to be used for the design and construction of mountain bike trails on the Forest Ridge Park site. The park site is owned by the Army Corps and managed by the State of North Carolina. The format for the workshop is informal and people are encouraged to come and go as they please and learn about what trails may be built on the federally owned park site.
