Jared set a course record last year for the longest continuos star gazing (2 hrs. 20 minutes on his second lap). He learned that it is better to have lights at night after his 16th endo. He will begin training for this year's race when he shows up at the starting line. If you happen to be riding behind Jared at anytime throughout the course then you are probably the worst cyclist of all time. He would like to thank all of his friends at the Pennsylvania Mental Correctional Facility for letting him leave the state.   In the words of Carter Lewis,the greatest mountain biker ever, Jared will literally "chew up some gnarley singletrack" while once again grooming the trails with his teeth.
