The Southern Appalachian Bicycle Association (SABA) serves cyclists in Western North Carolina, North Georgia, and Eastern Tennessee. In addition to weekly group road rides, we maintain the Jackrabbit Mountain Biking and Hiking Trail System in Hayesville, NC, the Piney Knob Trail System in Murphy, NC, and the Ramsey Bluff Trail System at Hanging Dog in Murphy, NC.
Road, Mountain, Gravel, Tri? We’re a group of like minded cyclists with a common goal to educate and promote bicycling in our region, regardless of the genre.
Check back often to see what’s happening in the local bicycle community!
