Had a fantastic time on Bug Springs, on an excellent enduro bike rented through Tara's company, Homegrown MTB. It was a *great* trail, descending through three mountain environments, gorgeous, with some challenging but fun tech (I walked ~3 super steep sections) interspersed with flowy sections. (But be prepared for the HABs at the beginning, and half way through.) Will be visiting again!
In terms of being technical....i dont think the trail shown was. Hellrazor in Iddyild CA is super tech....theres a reason why most of the companies test on it.
La Milagrosa, by Jeff Lenosky. Maybe you've heard of him, I don't know, but either way there's a reason top MTB racers train in the area during the winter season and test prototype parts there. And no, it isn't because of "Fantasy Island," although that's fun to screw around on and bed in brakes (most product days are hosted there by the vendors). th-cam.com/video/-iroej7J6-k/w-d-xo.html
Who's ridden in Tucson before? Let us know!
I have, it's amazing
I have. Try to do the full Lemon Drop at least once a month. It's a real sufferfest!
Heck yes! Never ridden Lemon but hope to someday. The trails on other parts of the AZT are darn burley.
I ride Tucson Mountain Park. Robles, Star Pass & Sweetwater Preserve. Fantasy, Pistol Hill to Three Bridges. I’m a snow bird.
every day.
Thanks for highlighting Tucson. I don't make to Mount Lemmon often so I tend to do laps at Fantasy Island. Still good fun
Tucson has some damn good mountain biking! Mt Lemmon has blessed us with limitless gnar
I am Japanese
I love the video you post
Channel closed! I support you from now on!

Love AZ, Bravo! 👍🏼 I come every winter!
Nice video, but it's pretty disingenuous to call it a 'Complete Guide'. Not even close.
Head to pinkbike.com to read the full complete guide that accompanies the video :)
Ahh yes. I see now. Nice write up. Should have mentioned that in the video!
Tucson’s sick! I’m enjoying their trails right now.
Huh... another Torca/Tara/Homegrown video. what a surprise.
I’d like to know more about that gorgeous bike you were riding. Stunning.
Same here
Sean Garrison I filmed this on my Trail429...full build details on Instagram @bricycles 🤘
So has anyone taken a Hardtail on lemmondrop?
I Love Riding La Milagrosa (Translation Miraculous) & My President Tara Alcantra

That is cartel territory. Riders be careful.
Cartel territory? Pretty sure Tucson is still land of the free, home of the brave - America.
you're kidding right?
Me? Kinda kidding.. I don't anticipate Tucson riders being endangered by the cartel. Mostly being silly though
no cartel on any trails in tucson
rattle snakes and old ladies with walking sticks that's about all u really need to watch out for on Mt Lemon
