Early Spring
Ground is saturated. Don't Ride. Please be patient, we're almost there!

What happens next?

When you first join the GORBA Discord server you’ll be an un-verified user, which means you’ll only have access to a few public channels. Please be patient – a GORBA Moderator or Board Member needs to verify your GORBA membership status before getting you access to all the members-only conversations.

You can help by making sure your GORBA Discord nickname is the same full name you used when registering for your GORBA membership. This will make it easier for us to verify you and grant you full access.

We’ll see you online and on the trails!
