Kate Carter

Kate Carter loves Vermont's Woodland Trails. As a mountain biker, she has learned the bumps, bends and summer eccentricities of the trails. Kate says she gets her best writing ideas when riding. "Going out into the woods and riding is a form of meditation with the side benefit of exercise," she said. "It's the same with any aerobic sport." When snow forces her to put her bike away for the winter, Kate simply straps on her cross-country skis or her snowshoes and doesn't miss a day on the trails.

Professionally Kate Carter is the publisher and managing editor of Vermont Sports Today. This unique magazine devotes itself to individual aerobic sports and related sporting events within Vermont. She is also the chair of Vermont Mountain Bike Advocates, a statewide organization that promotes the preservation of existing trails and the opening of new ones.

Her expertise and enthusiasm infuse her book Mountain Bike! Vermont, a title in the America by Mountain Bike series. "Find a sport that is right for you," Kate advises, "It doesn't have to be biking, it can be canoeing or hiking, and get out there every day. It's a break for you and it makes you a more bearable person."

Kate lives in Waterbury Center, Vermont.
