 From a kid on a banana seat bicycle with training wheels, to the 2001 World Mountain Bike Championships, Allison Dunlap has never ignored her dad's advice when he told her, Don't Stop Peddling. During her freshman year at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Allison was the last women's soccer team player to be cut from the team. Allison soon discovered cycling at the college, and became the only female member of the cycling club. By her senior year, she became the women's national collegiate champion in road racing. Five years later, Allison competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games in the women's road race where she finished 37th. She then began dating professional mountain biker Greg Frosley, who is now her husband, and she began to realize her potential as a mountain biker. A sponsorship with GTBicycles helped launch her entry into mountain bike racing. Of course, the rider on the front there, Allison Dunlap, the new road rider who's changed over to mountain biking on the GT team. In 1997, in only her fourth World Cup competition, she surprised the competition by winning the race in Budapest, Hungary. Then, in 1999, Allison won her second World Cup, a gold medal at the Pan Am Games, and became the US national champion in mountain biking. I knew that if I wanted to win today, I had to be the aggressor, and so I attacked her half way through the second lap and dropped her, and then just powered on to the finish. By the end of the 1999 season, she was the number one ranked US rider. Allison went on to win 12 more national titles in mountain biking, a World Cup overall, and a World Cross Country mountain bike championship. She also was the sixth time national champion in cyclocross, and represented the US in her second Olympics in Sydney, Australia. After a four-year retirement, Allison came back in 2009 and raced cyclocross for the Luna team. I can see why people come back, you know, because you really, you know, like I have a passion for the sport, I just love it. After getting fourth at the national championships, she retired from racing in 2010 after the birth of her son, Emmett. She started Allison Dunlap adventure camps in 2003 and has been coaching cyclists full time since 2005. Allison also runs mountain bike skills camps in Moab, Utah, the same place where her dad first took her backpacking in 1974. Allison currently lives in Colorado Springs with her family, and she has never stopped pedaling.
