Mountain Bike Buddies is owned and operated by Mark Erickson.  Mark is a Utah native who has deep roots in SW Utah. Even as a boy Mark enjoyed exploring SW Utah while visiting his grandparents in St George, (his grandfather worked for the Bureau of Land Management).   After raising his family in Bountiful Utah, he and his wife Cindy moved to Washington, Utah (2 miles north of St George) in 1996.

Mark loves the Utah desert and loves sharing what he truly believes are the best mountain bike trails in the world with others.  Having ridden the trails hundreds of times himself he claims to know every rock.  He is committed to make your mountain bike trip an unforgettable experience.

Besides mountain biking, Mark is an avid golfer, whose other interests include skiing, reading and traveling.  He and his wife Cindy are especially proud of their four children and twelve grandchildren.
