Ep. 980: A Life of Bikepacking - Kait Boyle

Bikepacking: Kait's journey from outdoor education to world-champion 24-hour mountain bike racing, self-supported ultra records, overcoming a traumatic car accident, and passionate backcountry riding to connect deeply with place, people, and her unlimited potential in the Tetons.

Kait loves moving up and down mountains, through canyons, across deserts, down rivers and sleeping outside. She discovered the mountain bike amidst a career in outdoor education and quickly fell in love with bikepacking which dominoed into pursuing long bikepacking expeditions around the world.

That led to racing to see if she could, which turned into wondering what her best looked like. Kait then won a 24-hr World Championship, set records in self- supported ultras that rival the strongest men.

One day, after leaving the grocery story, she was struck by an oncoming vehicle that lost traction in the snow. She survived and overcome the traumatic car accident which has ultimately led her to where she is now - a passionate and dedicated backcountry mountain biker who rides to go deeper, connect to place and people, and expand her limits. Beyond the bike, Kait loves time at home in the Tetons with her husband, Will and their dog Hank. Dog rides, powder-filled backcountry ski days with Will, and strong coffee balance her pursuit of her mantra, “you are unlimited.”
