We Are Trail People
If you have mountain biked or hiked on a wooded trail in the triangle, there’s a pretty good chance it was a TORC trail.
Join The Fun
Mountain biking with other people is great fun, and a chance to learn from others. There’s always a group ride scheduled somewhere.
If you can ride a bike...
You can join a mountain bike race. TORC has different races throughout the year, and there’s one just right for you.


Group Rides
Riding with Friends is More Fun
TORC holds local group rides for all different skills levels, with beginner rides being some of our most popular. Come meet new people, learn new skills and trails systems, and have fun with us.
Strava Club
Join Our Club on Strava
If you use Strava to track your rides, join the TORC Strava Club, and see what other TORC members have been up to. It's a great way to find trails you didn't know existed and friends you haven't met yet.

Triangle Off-Road Cyclists
Because having more trails means more ways to get active outside.
Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit volunteer run organization that supports responsible mountain biking in the Triangle area of North Carolina. We offer group rides, clinics, races, and other events for riders of every skill level. And we partner with land managers and other stakeholders to establish and maintain trails that everyone can enjoy.
