T.J. Jones: The Man Behind the Scene at Sun & Ski Sports MS150 Team

Susan Farb Morris provided this to me:

T.J. not only rode in the very first MS 150, he rode in the first FIVE MS 150s.  As Sun & Ski Sports Corporate Bike Coordinator, he makes sure that the 300-person Team Sun & Ski rides smoothly, so he’s not able to ride in the event.  However, he does serve on the executive committee of the National MS Society Lone Star Chapter MS 150 Bike Shops.

T.J., who lives with his wife, Carla (also an avid cyclist) in NW/Cypress area, used to be a USC Federation road racer and a mountain bike racer.  He is known statewide for his expertise in fitting cyclists on their bicycles. He estimates he rides 125-150 miles per week.  This includes evenings as well as weekends.  He has cycled in the Texas Hill Country, Utah (Moab), Northern California/Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Lake Tahoe, Pacific Coast Highway and Colorado.  He is past Ride Director of the Texas Hill Country River Region Classic, a 100-mile ride in Garner State Park area.

Last July 4th, T.J. celebrated his 50th birthday, where else, but on a bicycle!  His birthday is the 4th of July and he and Carla rode the Triple Bypass, a one-day trip that covers three mountain passes in Evergreen, Colorado!
