ROAD TRIP!! South Mountain Park Natural Area Mountain Biking - Phoenix, AZ
Rocky Desert MTB Riding at South Mountain in Phoenix, AZ!
For this video we head to the desert of the southwest to ride the iconic National Trail at South Mountain Park Natural Area in Phoenix, AZ. I was in town for a couple of days for my boy's surprise 40th birthday party so I had to sneak away on a rented 2020 Specialized Enduro (shout out to Global Bikes for the awesome rental) to check out the great riding located just above the city at South Mountain. South Mountain has over 110 miles of trails located just minutes from downtown Phoenix with an elevation gain of over 1000'. Trails range from flat desert singletrack to double black steeps with drops and exposure. I only got a taste of the riding, but had a great time. I rode out from the shop in Ahwatukee and hit Desert Classic, Mormon Loop and then descended the east end of the iconic National Trail. I had hoped to tackle the very technical waterfall feature, but ultimately decided against it as I was by myself, didn't know the line, and had a flight back to Philly that night....I waited for about 10 minutes for someone to come by so I could see the line, but the only rider that did walked it. Next time, I suppose :)
If you're headed to Phoenix, I'd highly recommend checking out South Mountain if you can squeeze it in. The desert riding is like nothing we have out here in the northeast and was tons of fun. It was pretty dry and sandy and imagine it's even better if you can get out there shortly after a rain and get some of that hero dirt.

Best Mountain Bike Trails in Arizona
Best Mountain Bike Trails in Arizona // Arizona is great to biking trails and can be an exciting way to get your adrenaline fix, or enjoy a calming bike at the weekend with your family.
With dramatic landscapes, varied terrain, and remote regions to explore, Arizona is a haven for mountain bikers. There are rugged and technical trails for experienced bikers, as well as easy trails that let beginners get some exercise and enjoy the scenery.
Hangover Trail, Sedona - Sedona is an absolutely beautiful place for hiking and mountain biking, but this trail should only be attempted by experienced riders who are willing to take on some risk. There are lots of mountain biking trails in the Sedona area, but the Hangover Trail is definitely one of the more unique ones. That’s because you’ll ride up to a saddle between two sections of red rock, ride along the narrow edge of a canyon, and travel on a steep cliff that’s a couple feet above the canyon floor. Although the singletrack trail is only about 3.2 miles long, it is very intense. Most of this trail is on slick rock, but it’s the exposed rock on the edge of a cliff that really requires you to be comfortable on a bike…and with heights!
50-Year Trail/Golder Ranch, Tucson - The Tucson area also has some excellent mountain biking opportunities, especially if you head over to the 50-Year Trail/Golder Ranch area. This is probably the best trail that this region has to offer because it has something for everyone. Beginners, intermediate riders, and advanced riders can all find something to enjoy and challenge themselves on this route. If you are just visiting the area, you can also stop by a local bike shop for a rental bike and get dropped off and picked up at the trail. Keep an eye out for sandy spots, snakes on night rides, and unexpected ruts. The trail is sometimes compared to the Honeybee Canyon Trail, but a more technical version of it.
Black Canyon Trail, Phoenix - One great mountain biking route near Phoenix is the Black Canyon Trail, and one recommended route starts at the Table Mesa Trailhead. This route goes on the Black Canyon Trail to the Little Pan Loop, and is part of a 62-mile trail system. The singletrack trail is recommended for advanced riders, and it’s a smart idea to carry a GPS or map to navigate the many branch trails that lead off of the main route. There are some long downhill sections on desert terrain, but be aware of the cacti that are pretty impossible to avoid. You can also start your journey at the Black Canyon City Trailhead near the Rock Springs Exit I-17 and go north or south from this point.
Pemberton Loop, Scottsdale - While many of the trails here are only suitable for intermediate and advanced riders, here’s a great one for beginners. The Pemberton Loop singletrack look extends 15 miles, and there are many different places you can start it. For a shorter ride, you can even cut the loop off by several miles by taking the Bluff Trail or Tonto Tank Trail. The desert trail is wide and fast, and there are spur trails you can take to make it longer. There are no huge climbs or descents on this minimally technical ride that’s very fun. This is also a good beginner trail because it’s well-marked with signs. Riders should know there is a wild horse population nearby, so you may encounter horses on the trail.

When winter comes, we are quickly reminded why we love Arizona for cycling. Recorded December 17th, 2016, on a ride to Bartlett Lake. While it was chilly, you just can't beat this sunshine as the rest of the US gets hammered with snow.

Mountain biking Maricopa trail, Cave creek, AZ
Got the prime locals tour of the Maricopa trail from Kaolin Cummens and Dax Massey. Supper fun trail lots of up and down a bit primitive in places but I like that. Along with all the various cacti that are out to get you in this neck of the woods I was also introduced to cat claw, it happened to be overgrown on this day from rain and it had us all bloody by the end of the ride.

Tucson, Arizona | Sweetwater Trail is the prettiest trail in Tucson!
OutOfThisVan
Sweetwater Trail is located on the west side of Tucson and is covered in Saguaro cactus. The cactus make for a unique experience where staying on the trails is of the utmost importance. This trail is great for beginner and intermediate riders but also offered up a few tricky rock sections to keep things interesting. Perhaps the coolest thing about this trail is we rode it in Winter and it was 70 degrees and sunny. You honestly can't beat that!

The Loop - 100 Miles of Paved Cycling Pathway in Tucson
On March 17, 2018 Pima County is celebrating the completion of the The Loop – a system of more than 100 miles of paved pathways that runs in Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, South Tucson and unincorporated Pima County. It began after the historic floods of 1983 as a way of building banks to try to prevent future catastrophic floods so the recreational component was added which serves pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians.

MTB Calderwood Butte Trail, Peoria, AZ
Morning ride on Calderwood Butte Trail in Peoria, AZ. Definitely more of a hiking trail with loose rocks, tight switchbacks, and steep ascents making it a challenge for bikers. Probably not a trail I would drive to, but nice being able to bike to it from the house.
Gimbal died before the end of the trail. Video cuts off the last climb and fun descent.

The Instagram Daily Stories were the most streamlined and simplest way for me to share my journey with all of my friends, family, and followers as the ride unfolded. The daily stories also acted a great way for me to communicate with friends of what I was doing in real-time. Hope you enjoy!

All short videos were filmed vertically because they were created to work well on mobile devices. They videos are all still live on my ‘highlights’ on my Instagram account ( @stoutabout ), but I wanted to pull them off Instagram so that I could have them saved offline as-well-as posting them here, and on my website.
ABOUT AStoutRIDE.org :
This is not just any bike ride. This is a ride which was spurred on by my Father's dream to cycle across the United States, which he was never able to fulfill. His time was cut short by Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer), so now it is my time to ride in his name, and to raise awareness and proceeds towards the cure.
