🎙️ Episode 16 – McKinley Taylor: Riding the Ridge Lines

In this episode of Sweet Seats, Katherine and Alana hit the trails with McKinley Taylor, standout rider for the Hershey and Dauphin Composite Mountain Bike Team. McKinley shares how he first got into mountain biking, what drew him to the sport, and why the tight-knit, supportive biking community keeps him coming back for more — even after long rides and gnarly climbs.

They dive into the intensity of cross-country courses, race-day nerves, and the unique vibe of team trail culture in central Pennsylvania. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just curious about the world of youth MTB, McKinley brings insight, grit, and good energy to the mic.

And of course, it’s time for the Sweet Seats Round, where McKinley reveals:

• His favorite Hershey candy

• Go-to Gatorade flavor

• And his dream vacation spot after the race season ends

Trail-tested and community-rooted, this episode is all about finding your flow — on and off the bike.
