Christopher Jones: Jonez World

Three, actually four summers ago I remember receiving The Call. I was on a mid summer haitus in Montana when I received a call from the boys over at TARGETRAINING. They asked if I could be in pennsylvania in 36 hours to race for them. I had no idea how I would get there, but before my brain could compute the logistics the word ‘yes’ came out of my mouth. I somehow made it to the race on time and will never forget the pride I felt when I rode in my first professional race.
Since then my career has progressed as I moved to NERAC and for the past two seasons raced for Team Type 1. Neither of these teams had added a rider mid-season until this past week when Will ‘Willow’ Duggan joined TT1 at the Tour of Utah. Immediately I remembered being his shoes, new to a team and ready to please. I also remembered that I like to exploit new guys in these situations, so I-Mac and I set out to have fun with the kid. I can’t list everything here, but Willow had a great attitude and handled the razing well. He is talented and is a good addition to TT1. Yes ladies, he is young, single, and looking…looking on websites for a Russian mail order bride that is. Kids these days…
D Lill rode well for second overall and best Utah rider while the rest of us floundered around and played back-up singers for him. If the race can iron out a few minor problems, such as keeping riders on course, it has a great future.
Up next is USPro.
I don’t have a picture of Will, so here is a picture of Cass, who is beautiful as always, holding the end of a rainbow.
