How fit do I need to be?

If you’re itching to try out the mountain bike trips in Sedona, you’ll need to be able to pedal between two and six hours, depending on the itinerary you choose. Even the easy tours require that riders be fit enough to pedal up some rising terrain. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities. Keep in mind, opting for the full-day option means more biking, which is strenuous even if you stay on beginner-level trails.

A guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort.

1 day guided MTB trip in Sedona with Hermosa

A day later and I’m still smiling about my day hitting Sedona’s incredible singletrack with Evan from Hermosa Tours. Evan was a great guide! He made everything super easy: from arranging a (sweet!) demo bike from Over the Edge, to assessing my riding abilities and chosing the right mix of trails. Aside from knowing all the local trails, he is also an MTB coach, so I got tips on position, line choice, and bike handling throughout. With him towing me-in I was able to ride some expert features that I never would have tried on my own! (Stoked!)

I highly recommend going with the full-day “ride till you are happy” option to make full use of the demo bike, experience different trail systems, and to be able to take water and food breaks without feeling like you are on the clock. (Sedona miles are physically demanding, and at altitude… you are going to need breaks!)

Overall this was a great day on the bike, thanks to Evan. I’ll be back because the riding here is just crazy good!

Great tour

My son mountain bikes, however, it was the first time for the rest of us. We booked a tour and Leslie was our guide and couldn’t have been better. She was very patient and gave helpful information on how to ride. She took us on a great trail! We had a wonderful time!

Fantastic tour!

I did a half-day mountain biking tour with Britta, and I am so, so, glad that I did! I had not been out biking in more than two years, and Britta was incredibly patient. She gave me excellent advice on how to conquer some of the trickier parts of the trail, and let me do a couple of re-dos so I could prove to myself that I was capable of getting a few steeper downhills.

Britta is just the best, and I’d recommend her to anyone thinking of doing this trip. When I return to Sedona, I will be requesting her for my next mountain biking adventure!
