SUMMARY:SHUTTLE Red Ridge
DESCRIPTION:Dropping…\n“RAD RIDGE”\nLooking for a backcountry\, big mountain ride with epic views\, thousands of feet of descending\, and adventures such as stream crossings\, raw cut trails\, and diverse terrain? HG finds creative ways to ride the best trails… \nJoin us for a shuttle ride to the top of Mt Lemmon to access the epic backcountry trail\, Red Ridge. This ride starts at almost 10k feet elevation\, and finishes at 2800k feet at the 50 Year trail. Steep descents\, technical switchbacks\, one long grueling climb\, and finishing at the iconic 50 year trail system\, this is THE ride in Tucson! Red Ridge requires advanced fitness and bike handling skills. More about Red Ridge… \nRED RIDGE TRAIL Now officially part of the infamous Arizona Trail. This previously rehabbed trail was a downhiller’s paradise. The Bighorn Fire of 2020 created challenging maintenance conditions. But the TORCA crews\, along with the USFS crews\, have worked to open this trail back up. While trail development is on-going\, this raw trail has opportunities for wide sight lines and steep ridge lines. This trail provides fast and loose turns with proper elevation drop (descends 3500′ in 5 miles). Check out the dirt surfing on the backside of Lemmon! Red Ridge connects to other segments of trail in the 50 Year area\, for a total of 20+ miles of riding and takes most riders 4-6 hours. \nhttps://www.trailforks.com/report/919715/ \nShuttle will depart at 9am promptly from Golder Ranch Road Trailhead near 50 Year \n**ALL RIDERS REQUIRED TO SIGN HG’S ONLINE WAIVER: \nhttps://waiver.smartwaiver.com/w/5a53a10fe249d/web/ \n\n**Conditions change VERY quickly – HG reserves the right to cancel this tour if weather and safety are factors**

SUMMARY:RED RIDGE SHUTTLE & GUIDED TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Dropping…\n“RAD RIDGE”\nLooking for a backcountry\, big mountain ride with epic views\, thousands of feet of descending\, and adventures such as stream crossings\, raw cut trails\, and diverse terrain? HG finds creative ways to ride the best trails… \nJoin us for a guided ride starting at the top of Mt Lemmon to access the epic backcountry trail\, Red Ridge. This ride starts at almost 10k feet elevation\, and finishes at 2800k feet at the 50 Year trail. Steep descents\, technical switchbacks\, one long grueling climb\, and finishing at the iconic 50 year trail system\, this is THE ride in Tucson! Red Ridge requires high-intermediate to advanced fitness and bike handling skills. More about Red Ridge… \nRED RIDGE TRAIL Now officially part of the infamous Arizona Trail. This previously rehabbed trail was a downhiller’s paradise. The Bighorn Fire of 2020 created challenging maintenance conditions. But the TORCA crews\, along with the USFS crews\, have worked to open this trail back up. While trail development is on-going\, this raw trail has opportunities for wide sight lines and steep ridge lines.

SUMMARY:RED RIDGE SHUTTLE & TOUR **SOLD OUT**
DESCRIPTION:******THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT – NEXT SHUTTLE NOVEMBER 9*****\nDropping…\n“RAD RIDGE”\nLooking for a backcountry\, big mountain ride with epic views\, thousands of feet of descending\, and adventures such as stream crossings\, raw cut trails\, and diverse terrain? HG finds creative ways to ride the best trails… \nJoin us for a guided ride starting at the top of Mt Lemmon to access the epic backcountry trail\, Red Ridge. This ride starts at almost 10k feet elevation\, and finishes at 2800k feet at the 50 Year trail. Steep descents\, technical switchbacks\, one long grueling climb\, and finishing at the iconic 50 year trail system\, this is THE ride in Tucson! Red Ridge requires high-intermediate to advanced fitness and bike handling skills. More about Red Ridge… \nRED RIDGE TRAIL Now officially part of the infamous Arizona Trail. This previously rehabbed trail was a downhiller’s paradise. The Bighorn Fire of 2020 created challenging maintenance conditions. But the TORCA crews\, along with the USFS crews\, have worked to open this trail back up. While trail development is on-going\, this raw trail has opportunities for wide sight lines and steep ridge lines. This trail provides fast and loose turns with proper elevation drop (descends 3500′ in 5 miles). Check out the dirt surfing on the backside of Lemmon!

As a Level 2 “Air” PMBIA Certified Coach\, Tara has an exceptional knack for pushing riders to help them break free of their self-imposed limitations. Using a logical approach versus a fear based approach\, Tara helps her students develop the skills required to make solid decisions on the trail. As one of the very first of only a couple female riders on her home mountain\, Mt Lemmon\, she often chased some of Tucson’s fastest riders down technical\, fast trails. Tara started a Tucson based shuttle\, rental\, and guiding company called Home Grown MTB in 2016. She has become a resource for locals and tourists alike\, looking to experience the big mountain riding and exhilarating backcountry trails of the Sonoran Desert. She is also a founding member and past President of TORCA (Tucson Off-Road Cyclists & Activists)\, with thousands of hours of volunteer work slinging dirt and rock to make the trails better for everyone. Tara has coached MTB professionally since 2016\, traveling the country working for some of the biggest names in the industry and coaching at world class bike parks like Big Sky\, Grand Targhee and locations such as Moab\, UT and Whitefish\, MT. \n \n\nArt Alcantara \nArt is co-owner of HG MTB\, founder of TORCA (Tucson Off-Road Cyclists & Activists)\, a Level 2 “Air” PMBIA Certified MTB Coach\, and a big supporter of all riders! Art is a talented rider who prefers long\, backcountry epics and hot laps at the bike park. Art got into the sport after meeting his wife\, Tara\, and together they’ve spent the past two decades making dreams come true on the bike. Favorite places to ride are Retallack – BC\, Whistler\, Angel Fire Bike Park\, and Mt Lemmon. His first coaching student was his wife\, Tara\, who he helped to develop into the rider she is today. Locally\, Art has developed opportunities and advocated on behalf of riders for the past decade. He is currently working with the Coronado National Forest Santa Catalina Ranger District on it’s Master Trails Plan to develop trails on Mt Lemmon. \n \nJuan Del Castillo \nGrowing up riding dirt bikes in Tucson\, Juan is most comfortable on two wheels. After living and riding in Angel Fire\, New Mexico for many years\, he turned his focus to mountain biking. Juan made a name for himself at the Angel Fire Bike Park\, winning several “whip off” contests\, and competing at a professional level in downhill and enduro races. Juan is a lead guide for Home Grown MTB and PMBIA certified mountain bike coach. His smooth and creative style of riding has inspired many other riders\, and Juan is genuinely happy to share his techniques with those around him. \n \nMatt Hrabko \nMatt relocated to Tucson from California several years ago and dove head first into the MTB scene. He is a lead guide for HG\, a Director on the board for TORCA\, and talented mechanic for Tucson Performance & Endurance Center. Matt makes his living riding and working on bikes\, and has a “calm\, cool\, and collected” style that makes him a pleasure to be around. As a PMBIA certified Coach\, Matt has worked with hundreds of riders to help them improve their skills and ride with more confidence. Whether he’s riding the chunk on the local trails or traveling to bike parks for downhill action\, Matt is a talented athlete who is always happy to share the stoke with those around him! \n \n  \n\n**PLEASE NOTE:  HG believes a well-rounded athlete benefits from the perspective of both male and female coaching.
