He
and
Austin
have
known
each
other
since
freshman
year
when
Austin
first
told
him
about
Rally
Across
America,
and
he
knew
the
ride
was
something
he
had
to
do.
Tom
has
always
enjoyed
cycling,
and
was
thrilled
at
the
idea
of
doing
a
long
ride
for
such
a
great
cause.
After
the
bicycle
tour,
Tom
plans
on
attending
law
school.
