New Mountain Bike Venue Completed

SORBA-CSRA in conjunction with the City of North Augusta and Andy Jordan’s Bicycle Warehouse have built a pump track at North Augusta's Riverview Park.

A pump track is a dirt course full of small hills and turns that form a circuit. Riders traverse the track, not by pedaling their bikes, but by “pumping” their bikes. A rider uses their entire body to create speed and momentum carrying them throughout the pump track. On a properly designed pump track, riders can do as many consecutive laps as their fitness and skill level allow with only a few initial pedal strokes. A pump track is an absolute blast for riders of all ages and all skill levels.          

The pump track is located behind the North Augusta Activities Center at the old campgrounds in Riverview Park. It’s a perfect recipe for family fun complete with a covered picnic area, a grill, and restrooms nearby. And since it’s just off the Greeneway, it’s only a bike ride away! The track is yet another great recreational offering for the CSRA!

The Riverview Pump Track is being made possible by the following contributors: Specialized Bicycles, the City of North Augusta, SORBA-CSRA, Andy Jordan’s Bicycle Warehouse, Fox Racing Shox, the Augusta Futurity, B4 Construction & Consulting, Inc., and WH Reeves Construction Co.

Future plans for the area include a “bicycle skills area” consisting of skinny bridges, rock gardens, and other natural obstacles, as well as 3 miles of single-track, mountain bike trails. When complete North Augusta will be a total “ride center”.
