Hi! My name is Allie Long and I am a junior at San Ramon Valley High School. This is my soon to be 4th year Racing with NICA. I am excited to encourage more girls to mountain bike and become more familiar with the sport. I began my cycling journey on the road with my dad when I was 11, as the years went by I joined the SRVMTB team and began to Love MTB. On my first GRiT ride I learned how strong the community was and eventually knew I wanted to contribute to it. Outside of Mountain biking I love to run, take care of plants, and spend time with friends and my dog.

What is your favorite trail snack?

I love the Clif Blocks.

Where is your favorite place to ride?

The single tracks on Mt. Diablo.

What is a hobby or interest of yours outside of mountain biking?

I enjoy running and taking care of my plants.

Why are you excited about being a NorCal GRiT Ambassador?

I am excited to become a NorCal GRiT ambassador because I want to do as much as I can to get more girls on bikes. I have grown more confident as a cyclist by having others encourage me, and I wanted to give as many others the same experience. I’m excited because I get to help others, meet new people, and help others be included.
