This McDowell Mountain cycle (MMC) shop brings a new meaning to customer satisfaction. Their commitment to not just meet but exceed their customer's needs and expectations! Mike, Rob, and Tyson are friendly and focused on making repairs fast, easy and reliable. I bought a pre-owned bike 4-5 weeks ago and have taken it to MMC for new brake pads, a tire repair and for a new wheel. What I like is this...the MMC team wants to deal with your issue immediately. In other words they want to get you back on the road ASAP (vs. leaving it and forcing you to come back later). I like that!!! These fellows are experienced, knowledgeable and professional. Plus their work in my opinion is fairly and responsibly priced. l also know suspect they will back up their work if I have a problem after leaving the shop. Hopefully you are getting the energy and excitement you will experience that I have for this operation. Try them out. Tommy D

After several years of work by the town and many volunteers, The Adero Canyon Trailhead at Fountain Hills has opened. One of our neighbors is a trail steward and he said there were enough hikes of all levels there and that it was beautiful. We went the day after Thanksgiving and wow. What a beautiful place. There is a beautiful sign at the entrance to the parking area and there is a nice building with a covered patio with table and restrooms. A large map is posted marking all the trails and they have a small folder for you to take with you. There are connecting trails for Fountain Hills, Scottsdale & McDowell Mountain REgional Park. This place is so beautiful. I took the Overlook Trail which is .6 of a mile and has a scenic overlook at the end. The trail is so well marked and even has 3 benches along the route. I was amazed to see all the quartz just laying on the ground. At one point when I turned around, I could see people on the trails opposite of where I was going. On the Overlook Trail, you can take the easy access to see a lower view or continue up the hill a bit further to be the higher scenic view. I was told that on a clear day you can see to Tucson. I didn't see Tucson that day but I saw beauty surrounding me. I was exhilarated. The trail is well marked and gives you a number so if you have to make an emergency call it will help them locate you. It was wonderful to see so many people utilizing this beautiful preserve. No horses but dogs are allowed on leashes.

Two 18 holes courses here. Played the Dinosaur. WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL. What a tremendous golf outing. End up going through the mountain pass to the other side for some holes and back again. Up and down huge hills. Elevation changes galore. Awesome desert golf!! Pictures will never do it justice but browse through some of mine. Some pretty tough holes but course is in pristine condition. One of my favorite courses ever.
