Gwinnett Area Trail Riders (GATR; pronounced gator) is the Gwinnett County, Georgia Chapter of SORBA (Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association) and was founded in August 2005. The focus of GATR is to advocate single track trail development and access to trails by mountain bikers in the parks of Gwinnett County, GA. GATR also promotes mountain biking as a healthy recreational and social activities by holding regularly scheduled chapter meeting, skills clinics, regular group rides for all level of riders. We welcome all age and skill level of riders from beginners to the hard core.

In addition to the primary goals of trail advocacy and promoting mountain biking, GATR is focused on increasing our membership to increase our advocacy voice in Gwinnett Co., Georgia and the Southeast. As a result of the formation of GATR in 2005, our advocacy voice had an impact on the re-development of the Yellow River Trail System (See the History of Yellow River). Yellow River Trails are an outstanding trail system close to downtown for those advanced riders needing a good "training" trail, or for new riders joining the growing ranks of mountain bikers. Yellow River has been recognized by Atlanta Sport and Fitness Magazine as a "Best Of" .
