Tucson MTB Playbook

First off—THANK YOU. You just made a fantastic decision. Not only are you about to get all the insider knowledge to ride Tucson like a local (without the years of trial, error, and wrong turns into cholla fields), but you’re also directly supporting the MTB scene here in the desert.

That’s right—your purchase doesn’t just line the pockets of MTB Diaries and underwrite our Fort Knox of Maxxis Minions (because man they’re pricey and boy do we sure go through them). It does actual good for the trails, the community, and you just put dollars into the pocket of a local rider or business in Tucson if you purchased through them.

How This Course is a Win-Win-Win

🟢 Win #1: You (The Rider) – You get a shortcut to real insights on the best MTB rides, gear, and local knowledge without sifting through questionable Trailforks routes, outdated blog posts, random YouTube rants, or Facebook groups where the main advice is “Just move here.” You’re the most important part in all of this so thank you, again.

🟢 Win #2: The Local Community – MTB Diaries maintains a generous affiliate program, which means that local riders, shops, and businesses can earn money by recommending this course. That’s right—real people who actually ride here are making money by sharing what they know and love. This keeps the stoke high, the tires rolling, and more money in the local MTB economy instead of feeding corporate ad machines.

🟢 Win #3: Tucson’s Trails & Environment – Finally, a portion of every sale goes straight back to local MTB-related organizations that maintain trails, advocate for access, and generally make sure Tucson stays awesome for riders like you. Think of it like 1% for the Planet, but in its infancy and no Patagonia catalogs. Your ride experience stays top-tier, and the people putting in the work to maintain these trails get the support they need.

You’re Part of Something Bigger
MTB Diaries is a business that we’re excited to grow, yes, and it’s designed from the ground up to play a role in keeping the whole MTB ecosystem thriving. You get rad knowledge, locals make money, and trails stay in good shape. That’s the kind of sustainable, circular economy that actually makes sense.
So pat yourself on the back. You’re not just a customer—you’re a trail-supporting, community-boosting, ride-loving legend. Now let’s dive in and get you ride-ready for the best MTB experience Tucson has to offer!
