Triangle Off-Road CyclistsPromoting, Building, Maintaining |
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.
Join TORC for a ride this Sunday at Lake Crabtree, followed by club updates and celebration of another successful year at Bravo’s Mexican Grill in Cary.

This year has been another busy one for TORC. We’ve completed a major rework of the east side of Lake Crabtree County Park in Morrisville. This rework rehabbed older trails with sustainability and usability issues into a model trail system. The feedback has been very positive and we are looking forward to working on the remaining half of the park soon. Also at Lake Crabtree this year saw the grand opening of the intermediate/advanced jump line. The jump line has proved to be very popular and it has really brought some parts of the biking community together that historically have not interacted well in the past. Harris Lake County Park has also seen some additions this year with a new skills area close to opening. Read the rest of this entry »
TORC recently contacted the city of Raleigh about the progress of the Forest Ridge permitting process. It sounds like good news with trails most likely in the first phase of development.
For those not familiar with this park “Forest Ridge is a 586-acre peninsula on Falls Lake located between Falls Dam and Highway 98. It is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and managed by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).”
Come for the race, stay for the food trucks and beer. Everyone’s a winner with race proceeds going to fund additional trail at Briar Chapel.
