Exciting East Valley Mountain Bike Group Rides

Join a Mountain Biking Group for Fitness, Friendship, and Fun

The trails in Maricopa Country are the perfect place to develop your mountain biking skills. Our group mountain bike rides will help you meet other passionate cyclists.

Cyclists of All Abilities Can Join a Santan Shredder Mountain Bike Group

If you are interested in mountain biking, it can be difficult to know how to get started. You want your first time on the trail to be safe and enjoyable. Joining a mountain bike group lets you learn the basics and improve your skills in a friendly, non-judgmental community.

We provide an experienced, certified group leader for every ride who can give you biking tips and basic instruction. Our “No Rider Left Behind” policy means that we make sure that you are in a group of people with a similar experience level so no one feels out of place. We also provide plenty of breaks so that you can catch your breath and rest your legs.

At Santan Shredders, we see mountain biking as a social event. Come and meet new friends as you explore the dramatic scenery around San Tan Mountain and greater Maricopa County!

The Advantages of Joining an Organized Mountain Bike Group

Plenty of our riders enjoy hitting the trails on their own, but there is something different about cycling with a group of friends. Here are some benefits to a group ride with Santan Shredders.

Our focus is Always Safety and Fun

Since its founding in 2013, Santan Shredders has been one of the fastest-growing mountain bike groups in Arizona. We would love to have you participate! Our focus is always safety and fun, so we have a few expectations of our riders. For every ride, we ask you to bring:

Safe equipment: Your bike and helmet should be properly fitted and in good functioning condition.
Water: We suggest bringing at least 100 oz. for most rides.
Snacks: A challenging ride will require an energy boost.
Self-Awareness: Be honest about your abilities, so we can place you in a group where you will thrive.
Attention: It is critical that you listen to your guides and pay attention to all instructions.
No Drop Rides: Our group rides are “no drop” events. This policy means we will adjust our pace to avoid losing any participants.
