Forsyth County Parks and Rec partnered with RAMBO (Roswell-Alpharetta Mountain Bike Organization a chapter of SORBA-Southern Off-Road Bicycling Association) to create a 4 mile cross country mountain bike trail and the 1st official Freeride Challenge Course in Georgia. This project was completed in under 10 months due to the fabulous volunteer support and community service workers. In fact, it even won the Pea Pickin award for the most unique community service project of the year in Georgia!
