Welcome to Issue 17.1
As a mountain biker, reasons to visit Arizona are nearly endless: the scenery, the terrain, the underlying hum of a perfectly still desert. This is a state confident enough in its supremely beautiful sunsets to slap one on its flag. But it’s also brutal. Momentum is hard to come by, rocks are aplenty, and the heat is suffocating. This dichotomy lies at the heart of what makes Arizona riding completely unlike anywhere else. Now, after decades of work in communities including Sedona, Flagstaff, Prescott, Phoenix, and Tucson, the Grand Canyon State has earned a spot among North America’s premiere fat-tire destinations. This edition of Freehub documents Arizona’s range of riding scenes, from vast interconnected urban networks to the loneliest stretches of the famed AZT.
