“Cycling has consumed me. I can not really say why. It started as a general interest and is now my favorite thing to do. I am also way too consumed with the technical aspect of bikes and while I wouldn’t say I am a weight weenie, I do run foam grips and aluminum rotors.”

Allen placed top ten in the open 19-29 2006 Torture Test. He was third in the 2006 Texas Supergrind, second at 2006 Mas o Menos, and first a the 2006 The Warda Race. He is currentrly ranked number one in both the NORBA Men 25-29 and the TMRBA Men 19-29. His goals for 2006 are to win the Beginner 19-29 2006 Texas State Spring Championship and upgrade to Sport in Fall, when his objective is to be top ten.

Helping build a massive bridge at a local trail got Allen searching the internet for what type of racing was available in Texas. After riding more and more with groups of other racers, and rare MTB Racing coverage on OLN in the summer of 2004, he decided to give racing a chance.

Tactics is what comes down for Allen as strength. He is new with structured consistent training, so to do well, he makes the most with what he got, and boy… he does it.

Aside from Cycling, Allen enjoys the guitar, basketball, and soccer, as well as the search for the perfect Chicken Chimichanga.
