Vale Terry Allen

Terry Allen (R) pictured with son Chris at the Bike to Work Breakfasts here in Perth



Terry Allen (67) our racing club secretary (Melville Fremantle) sadly passed away September 2007 . Terry was a good friend & organiser of the summer criterium events here in Perth for over twenty years both at Canning Vale & Kardinya , aswell as various official roles such as State Selector. Terry was still riding his bike in Riccione Italy in June & was planning on watching the Tour de France when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness which sadly claimed him all too early.
