I am Katie, stay-at-home mom and massage therapy student. I am also a bicycle enthusiast, about which I blog at Bike the Rhyne. Along with my husband Andy, a mechanical engineer, and our preschooler son, Alton, I live in a suburb outside of Portland, Oregon.
Andy and I are both native Californians who had never permanently lived outside our home state before, but one month after Alton was born we moved to Oregon for Andy's job. I began this blog in 2008 as a way to give the far-away grandparents, relatives, and friends a source for pictures and info about everything we were doing, but over the past few years it's developed into a bulletin board for everything in our lives and everything of interest to us: vacations, major life events, home renovations, day-to-day routines, sustainable choices, and cycling, of course!
"Walk the
Rhyne" as a title for this blog is simply a play on words of the Johnny
Cash biopic Walk the Line in combination with our last name:
Rhyne. And it's easy for our loved ones to remember. We mention our
extended family on this blog a lot, too.
