Some folks are born to achieve, to see world s of possibilities laid out before them, system atically overcome obstacles, and achieve every goal with al most superhuman ability. Kate Schade, the founder of Kate’ s Real Food (KRF), is the epitome of such a description. A go-g etter, her company is changing the way we stay energized in the field by upping quality, sustainability, and expectation.

Since 2010, KRF (formerly the Tram Bar) has been offering outdoor enthusiasts healthy, effective and tasty bars made from whole, USDAcertified organic ingredients, providing a lasting, guilt-free supply of power to fuel our passions. And we at ADVMoto love that these treats pack easily for any sized moto trip with a range of physical demands. So, let’s learn a bit more about the brains behind this brand.

Kate, tell us about your first motorcycle. I rode a stock Honda 250 XCF about 13 years ago. But I didn’t know anything about improving it. As a new rider, I would not have noticed anyway! A few years in, we put in a race cam for more power. It was well maintained before it was sold and I’ve been on KTMs ever since.

CHASING PEAKS IN THE HIMALAYAS

It was 2:00 a.m. on my fourth day in India. My eyes blinked open in the dark of a hotel room in Drass, a town in the Himalayas on the Indian side of the border. Yesterday was our first day riding on a six-day trip through the Himalayas, and my brain could not process everything I'd seen and experienced.

MAKING MEMORIES

Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”
