Ally (she/her, Missoula, Montana) has been tending to her love affair with bikepacking for many years — what started as diving head first into her first big tour down the Baja Divide in 2017 has blossomed into a decade of community organizing and working to make the bike industry a more welcoming, inclusive world. Previously the Art Director of Adventure Cyclist magazine, Ally now works as the Graphic Designer for The League of American Bicyclists. She is a co-founder and organizer of Slow Spokes, a bikepacking club that has hosted workshops, overnights, and community events for gender-expansive and women riders in Missoula since Spring 2024.
