THANK YOU TO OUR CUSTOMERS FOR 10 YEARS OF SERVICE!

This year HG celebrates 10 years in business. Art and I (along with others) have worked tirelessly to develop Tucson as a town known for mountain biking, to provide a world-class experience to riders, and to preserve the “tradition, condition and etiquette of the trail”.

During this time we’ve seen trails we worked years to develop burn beyond repair, imitators try to replicate and even sabotage our business, and misinformation about us personally spread on the internet like wildfire.

The bike industry is filled with enthusiasts, who aren’t necessarily good business people. This past year has shown that not everyone will survive the post-Covid bubble burst. The setbacks have been challenging and the blows land hard.

But there’s one thing I know… the true professionals, the ones who have their heads down doing the hard work of advocacy, providing tangible support without asking for credit, and making a difference not just for HG but for our community at large, those folks rarely get recognized or acknowledged.

I’d like to sincerely thank those who have supported and contributed to HG and our mission. Time spent on the trails, riding and slinging dirt, was time well spent and I will forever remember the way we came together to create something special.

Cheers to 2026 and to keeping the stoke alive ✌🏼
