Get ready to dial in your lines and explore the best terrain Lookout Mountain has to offer with SORBA Chattanooga and Lula Lake Land Trust as we lead a series of Five Points 50/25 Course Preview Rides leading up to the big race on Oct. 25th! Whether you're racing this year or just want to experience some epic trails with a solid crew, these preview rides are for you. Can't make this one? No worries- we will be hosting multiple group rides throughout the year, and each ride will showcase different sections of the course and give you a chance to get comfortable with the terrain before race day.
About the ride: This ride will be 15 miles with an approximate elevation gain of 1,100 vertical feet. The section of the race course covered will include the trails on Lula Lake's Durham Mine Trails property and the Five Points trail system. These trails are mostly single track with a combination of long climbs, downhills, technical rock gardens, and smooth flowy trails. These rides will roll at a social pace, but the terrain is no joke—expect a mix of flow, roots, and climbs that will keep you on your toes. No one will be left behind!
Date: June 12th, 2025
Meeting Time: Please arrive no later than 5:45 pm ET at the Durham Mine Trails parking lot. The ride will start promptly at 6:00 pm ET. For Google directions to the Durham parking lot, click here.
