2nd Smartest Person I know

JT has been racing for upteen years and a graduate of Yale and Harvard.... and of course many autobuses. He knows everyone and everything to know about cycling... a true class act.

I remember seeing JT for the first time on the "wall" in the Westfield Road Race in 1993.

I was in the cat 3 race and JT was in the 1,2 race. A small group of dropped riders regrouped on the descent and JT was chatting up a storm with a couple guys... I thought to myself.... he is the happiest dropped rider I have ever met.

He is a good friend of mine.... we actually don't know much about each other.. aside from cycling... but we always go out of each others way to say hello to each other at the races and catch up on lost time..... throw in an overnight at Bob Beal, the Tour de Roxbury and we seem to never have enough time to catch up.... he is a legend...

At the next race... Make sure you say hello and introduce yourself.....he probably already knows you.
