Flagler Area Biking SORBA's mission is to help create tri-county (St. Johns, Flagler, Volusia) area trails, bike paths, bike lanes; ensure their future use; heighten cycling safety awareness; organize group rides; protect the habitat contained within the bike trails and bike paths; build relationships with landowners and land managers; and provide an informative website for local riders. We are a chapter of the Southern Off-Road Bicycling Association which is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.

Name Change for FABS Coming Soon ! ! !From the very beginning of our club the Flagler Area Biking SORBA (FABS) name was considered to be a temporary name since our area covered more than just Flagler County. Last year a new name was finally chosen and over this year we will gradually be changing over to the new name. Our new club name will officially be
Florida Association of Single Track Riders (FASTR) and we will still be part of the great SORBA family. FABS will always be fabulous but now it's just FASTR! FABS in the DeLand Christmas Parade
Our club participated in this year DeLand Christmas parade for the first time and everyone had a great time as they showed off their decorated bikes. There's already talk of doing it again next year.

FABS Giving Back!!!
Our club presented a check to the Flagler County Board of Commissioners that symbolized the volunteer hours saved at Mala Compra Green Way Trail in the County. We were able to save the county $13,248.00 in just one year.
FABS Helps Camp Boggy Creek
With the help of the Florida Bicycle Association and The Bicycle Doctor of Bunnell, we were able to donate these 6 Trek bikes to Camp Boggy Creek. This camp is for children with serious illnesses and their families to reach beyond their illness ...and discover joy, confidence and a new world of possibilities and is always free of charge. They were extremely gracious and very happy to receive the bikes to be used in the camp and then gave us a terrific tour of their facility. It is just amazing what they do there! Go to www.boggycreek.org and see how you can help them too.
