Matt is the founder of Hermosa Tours and is a Lead Guide. Matt has a "fun first" philosophy to guiding and loves the look on a client's face as they discover their love of a new destination. Matt is Wilderness First Responder certified and has many years of backcountry experience under his belt. He is also an accomplished endurance racer having completed several 24 Hour Solo races, 100 mile off road races and is a near finisher of the Great Divide Race; a 2500 mile, unsupported mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide. When Matt isn't off exploring faint, squiggly lines on old maps he enjoys spending time with friends and his dog Samson.

When not out exploring new bike trails, How Kuff makes his home in the forests of the Ozark Mountains lighting his nights by the power of the Sun. Where you find How, you will find his mountain bike… from the north slope of Everest to the coastal range in the south of France, to the deserts of west Texas.

Peter has been addicted to mountain biking for as long as he can remember. When he isn’t on the bike, he spends most of his time building trails and stunts for a mountain bike park.

There is something to say about Durango and the surrounding area when a 30 year resident like Lisa is STILL awe struck from the breath taking beauty everytime she is in the high country for an adventure or just gazing out the window of the local coffee shop. Claiming to be the 'Jack of all trades, in pursuit of mastering them all', Lisa is always seeking out some new adventure to conquer. The love of sport has taken Lisa around the globe and brought many rewards. Don't be fooled though, Lisa is always looking for a good prank to pull, loves riding bikes in costume and thinks most people take life way too seriously. Doing anything that brings a smile to Lisa's face is the goal to Lisa's days, like hanging with her 12 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Dutch.

Jonathan elected to not write his own bio, so we’ve decided to list his various nicknames:

• Man Down
• Dude, where’s my bike?
• Duffman

After years of leading mountain bike and backpacking trips with friends, Mike decided to go pro and started working as a wilderness guide in 2006. He is a certified Wilderness First Responder, and loves the challenge of getting unlost with map and compass. When he’s not riding, Mike enjoys backpacking, skiing, running, traveling, exploring, eating and looking for new ways to avoid real work and responsibility.

My life revolves around riding bikes weather it’s up or downhill, dirt or street. When I’m not on my bike I’m kayaking, skiing, or fishing.

I like bikes, a lot.
Who wants to ride? You?

All right, I’m cool with that, let’s do this!
