Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for participants on the mountain bike tour?

A: Great question! There isn't a strict age limit, but riders should be at least 12 years old to participate. Kids under 16 must ride with a parent or guardian. If you're thinking of gifting this to a younger family member, just make sure they're comfortable on a bike and can handle some rough terrain!

Q: How do I reschedule if it rains? What’s their policy?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, they’ll work with you to reschedule your tour. Just make sure to call them as soon as you know. They’re pretty flexible about finding a new date, but it’s best to do it as soon as possible!

Q: What should I wear for the mountain bike tour?

A: Definitely wear comfortable athletic wear that you don't mind getting dusty! Closed-toe shoes are a must, and padded shorts can really help with comfort on the bike. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses for that Arizona sun!

Highly recommend the Sonoran Desert MTB tour!

I just got back from the Sonoran Desert guided mountain bike tour and it was incredible! The trails in McDowell Sonoran Preserve are beautiful, and our guide was super knowledgeable. They really tailored the experience to our skill levels, which was great. Just a heads up, definitely bring plenty of water and don’t forget your sunscreen. Worth every penny!

Looking for gift ideas, is this MTB tour suitable for my dad?

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Sonoran Desert MTB tour to my dad for his birthday. He’s in decent shape but hasn’t ridden in a while. Do you think it would be a good fit? I don’t want him to struggle too much but also want him to enjoy it!
