Katy Bryce is a Bend, Oregon based writer and copywriter who has a deep love for mountains, deserts and beaches. She started mountain biking in 1995, wandering on the early trails in Central Oregon and in the summer of 2003 completed the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route when it was in it's infancy. When not writing about the outdoors, travel or the environment, she's surfing, mountain biking or eating tacos somewhere with her husband Chris and her black lab, Wally. She's traveled to far away places in the U.S., Mexico, Central America, Asia, Europe and the South Pacific with either a bike or a surfboard in tow.
