Few people can pilot a bike—or a Bronco SUV—as deftly as Micayla Gatto. A professional freeride mountain biker, graphic designer, and multisport adventurer, Gatto grew up on British Columbia’s North Shore, where the mountains were never far. She fell in love with downhill mountain biking and spent nine years on the World Cup Circuit, notching several national championship wins. Today, she’s focused on freeride mountain biking, her art, and overland adventures, which is why she was a top pick for the Ford TransAmerica Trail team. Ford assembled a crew of adventure pros, including Gatto, to experience the TransAmerica Trail, a 5,900-mile route that crosses 13 states and some of the best hiking, camping, biking, climbing and paddling areas in the country.
The adventure pros joined the convoy at key locations in Utah and Colorado and found the route delivers plenty of action—behind the wheel and on the ground. Learn more about Exploring America’s Longest Off-Road Trail and how you can easily follow this under-the-radar route.
