049 - Point your knees, twist your hips, & go ride w/ Trail Lovers in Sedona. (Joanna & Phil Yates)

July 18, 2023 • Mountain Cog - Joshua Anderson & Mike Festerling • Episode 49

This episode features Joanna and Phil Yates of Trail Lovers, a company located in Sedona, Arizona that provides guided mountain bike rides/tours. Joanna is the Skills Clinic Manager & Lead Skills Coach and Phil is the General Manager & Lead Guide. Trail Lovers offers many different, unique, and 5-star MTB tours for every type of rider. They create a streamlined adventure experience with door-to-door service, providing everything needed (even great organic snacks).

During the episode, Joanna and Phil share insights into the world class mountain bike riding in Sedona along with some fun and easy to remember tips and tricks to improve riding on the trails. They discuss their top bike parks and trails around the United States and a bit about van life. Additionally, Joanna talks about her innovative remote coaching program and unique MTB Vibes Jewelry company.

We think you will enjoy meeting Joanna and Phil as much as we did. Kind of like riding Sedona’s 300 miles of single track, this episode is “Punchy” – 100% exciting all the time. Tune in! Oh, and a couple tips from this episode: don’t get stuck in the “ready position” & when you ride “heavy feet, light hands”!
