About Us
Who We Are
North Valley MTB is a Phoenix-based non-profit built around a simple truth: we’re not here just to ride bikes—we’re here to look out for each other.
Our community brings together riders of all backgrounds, experience levels, and walks of life. Some join us for the joy of the trail, some for the consistency of a group that shows up, and others because they’re navigating a tough chapter and need a place where they don’t have to explain anything. Everyone belongs. No judgment. No pressure. Just people supporting people.
What We Believe
At the heart of North Valley MTB is a belief that movement + community = stability.
Riding doesn’t have to be about speed, PRs, or proving anything. It can simply be a way to feel grounded. A way to breathe a little deeper. A way to spend time with others who care—not because they expect something, but because showing up matters.
We believe:
- Every ride is an invitation—a chance to be part of something steady and supportive.
- Every rider adds something special, whether you’re new to the trail or a seasoned local.
- Every trail day is an opportunity to lift each other a little higher than where we started.
And if someone’s carrying a quiet struggle, that’s okay. You don’t need to say it out loud to be supported here.
Why We Exist
Life gets heavy. Stress piles up. Isolation creeps in. And sometimes it’s hard to know where to turn—or even how to ask.
North Valley MTB exists to make that easier.
We show up consistently so no one has to navigate the hard miles alone. We ride not to “fix” anything, but to create a space where connection, encouragement, and community naturally make the tough stretches more manageable.
On the trail, surrounded by desert views and good company, stability becomes something we build together—one ride, one conversation, one moment of shared presence at a time.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Maintaining a non-judgmental space where everyone is welcome, whether you’re thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between.
- Offering consistent rides and gatherings that help build routine, reliability, and supportive relationships.
- Using movement as a tool for groundedness—not competition.
- Fostering genuine community that cares for the whole person, not just the rider.
This isn’t a club built around performance. It’s a community built around people. A place where showing up is enough.
The Heart of North Valley MTB
At the end of the day, we ride because it brings us together—and being together makes everything a little more manageable.
If you’re looking for a group where you can be yourself, connect without pressure, and enjoy the trails with people who look out for one another, you’ll fit right in.
Welcome to North Valley MTB.

Vision
We’re not here just to ride bikes.
We’re here to look out for each other.
This group was built on the simple idea that movement + community = stability.
Not perfection.
Not “fixing” anything.
Just giving people a chance to feel connected, supported, and welcomed without judgment or pressure.
Every ride is an invitation.
Every rider adds something special.
Every trail day becomes a chance to lift each other a little higher than when we started.
And if someone’s going through a tough chapter—whether they say it out loud or not—having a group that shows up consistently makes the climb feel a whole lot more manageable.
