ABOUT

Kait Boyle loves moving up and down mountains and sleeping outside. She discovered mountain biking during a career in outdoor education and quickly fell in love with bikepacking, which dominoed into pursuing long expeditions around the world. That led to racing to see if she could, which evolved into wondering what her very best looked like. Kait went on to win a 24-hour World Championship and set records in self-supported ultra-endurance events that rival the strongest men. She also survived and overcame a traumatic car accident, an experience that ultimately shaped who she is today: 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, mountain wanders, river floats, and strong coffee balance her pursuit of her mantra, “You are unlimited.”

Kait has always preferred reliable, durable, well-made gear. That’s why she loves her older Toyota pick-up trucks, why she rides the bikes she rides, and why she and her husband built their own house. She wants the things she uses to perform and last a lifetime, and to come from a company that is dedicated to community and the environment. 1UP racks fit perfectly into her ethos around gear; they carry her bikes reliably, are simple yet functional, and will probably even outlive her trucks. She’s always loved traveling and living out of the back of her pick-ups, and the durability of the Heavy Duty paired with a Rakattach brings her bikes along for the trip while maintaining access to her camping space!
