MTB Diaries is written by Jesse Dyrt — Tucson native, 40 years on these trails, and someone who has studied dirt in just about as many countries.

Ride. Anywhere.

MTB Diaries is dirt-driven trail intel for riders who love figuring things out for themselves.

We’re not a trail database. We’re not a gear review site. We’re not a tour company. We’re not a forum, and we’re not a rehash of things you can find elsewhere. AI can’t ride The Chutes — it can’t even get the directions right.

Up-to-date, original trail reviews and on-the-ground guides built from decades of riding these trails — created to ensure you show up prepared, supercharge your ride, and explore on your own terms.

MTB Diaries is focused on the American Southwest, where the trails are technical, the desert is unforgiving, and the riding is world-class.

Now featuring Tucson, Arizona. Sedona and Moab coming soon.

Happy Trails!
