Allan got into the sport two
years after graduating from
Portland's Benson High School
in 1981. during a 4,300-mile
bike tour of the western states.
He saw some events for the first
time and got hooked. "I just
decided this was what I wanted
to do," he said.
After two years at Portland
State University and several
races against the Oregon club
sport team, he decided on a
change of scenery. ‘Td raced
against most of them (on the
Oregon team) during the past.”
he said. “Through that I found
out that 1 had a pretty good op
portunity of getting involved in
architecture and cycling at the
same time.”
The club sport cycling team,
which he is now a part of. has
played an integral part in luring
him here. “They’ve financed
most of what I'm doing,” Allen
said.
The bikes used in the com
petition are 10-speeds in
design, but feature different
shifters, brakes and knobby

championships at hand, Allen
felt as though he was in a good
position to make the world

fall (for practicing),” he said.
‘Td like to go to the world meet
at the amateur level."

Allen, however, holds hope
for the future. The professional
cyclocross circuit, which has
yet to be indented by an
American, is an outside goal of
his.
"If I improve over the next
couple years, and then get my
act together, who knows?”
