Alison Dunlap: A Champion Designs a Winning Tire
 2005 will undoubtedly be memorable for Alison Dunlap for many reasons – chief among them that the cyclist has announced that the current season will be the last of her 17-year career. But 2005 is also the year that Dunlap’s signature tire, the Alison Dunlap ADvantage, has been introduced. And that should make this year one to remember for both Dunlap and her fans.
Dunlap is spending her last year in professional cycling as one of the Luna Chix, the team founded by Clif Bar CEO Gary Erickson in 2001. While she says that joining a brand new team –a group which by definition has no track record - is always risky, she was persuaded to become one of the first Luna Chix in part because of Erickson’s enthusiasm and determination to promote women’s sports.
