Our next is another relatively new member of the team at Aravaipa who seems as though she’s been here forever. Her incredible energy and outgoing personality are most likely the cause, and if you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Aravaipa Rides Race Director, Morgan Weinberg, you know that you’ve immediately made a new friend. The only thing we dislike about her is that she is a resident of Colorado, and wish we could hang out with her more often because she is such a joy to be around!
Let’s take a few minutes to get to know Morgan a little better…
Q: How long have you been working at Aravaipa
M: “Since April!”
Q: What is your favorite thing about your job?
M: “I love all the planning pieces that go into creating an awesome event! The most rewarding thing is getting to see all the pieces come together and watch the participants have a great time. I love getting to know all the racers and learning their stories as they cross our finish lines!”
Q: What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened and the most memorable during work?
M: “At my second Aravaipa event as RD, I got our company car stuck in a sandy wash out at Estrella in 110 degree weather. We tried digging it out for three hours before we finally got thrown some cardboard and pallets and got out! Later that weekend, while driving back to headquarters, a rock flew up on the highway and shattered the windshield. Fun times in the Nissan.”
Q: What is a fun or little known fact about you?
M: “It’s definitely not a little known fact but my dogs are my children. I’m obsessed with them in every way possible and can’t imagine life without our fur babies!”
Morgan does seem to have a hankering for getting vehicles stuck. In fact, this past weekend on her way to setting up Big Woody Rides in Flagstaff, Morgan got her conversion van stuck in the mud.
Morgan Weinberg…she will get “stuck” on you, too! 😉
We love you, Morgan!
As promised, here is the link to Aravaipa Rides' video. It's a great little tour of the shop with an interview with our manager Woody, a ride at the White Tank Sonoran Loop Competitive Track with Lem, followed by and post-ride refreshments.

Heads Up! Aravaipa Rides will have their video up soon!
Aaron, Rob and Dylan of Aravaipa Rides came by yesterday to shoot a promo video showcasing the shop and the trails for their Vertigo Night Rides event.
