Lance Armstrong rode with Bush at his Crawford Ranch and said this: the SS detail warned he's super competitive and you DON'T get to ride in front of him.

yep, I would have been the one to really piss him off then. If I were Lance, wouldn't have let him pass for nothing.

translation: he's a big baby and if you ride in front of him he will cry and we'll be stuck walking his bike home after he throws it in the woods

An Excerpt From USAToday

Follow the leader
But there is one rule: don't pass the president.
No problem. Keeping up with Bush — whose fitness level was recently rated in his annual physical exam as being in the top 1% of men 55 to 59 — was as difficult as any race I've entered.
I started out riding next to him at the beginning of the ride, but when we left the dirt trails and hit the rolling asphalt the pace accelerated to more than 20 mph, which is pretty good for road bikes but absolutely blazing for heavier, knobby-tired mountain bikes. And did I mention that the only factor mitigating the mid-80s temperatures was a very strong headwind?
"I like speed," says Bush, who wore a red-white-and blue helmet and a Western-style bike jersey, complete with pearl snap buttons. His loose-fitting black shorts bore small rips from his crash in Scotland. "There's something exhilarating about heading down a hill at 35 mph on a mountain bike — or trying to grind up a hill at 9 mph."

That's Ok. I'm sure Lance is used to dealing with crybabies considering all the French ass he kicked.

It should be an Iron Horse then... considering all the sweet features that AF1 and the Sunday have in common.

golf cart??? hmm, must have been some real tight, twisty fast ST they were riding and the climbs must be pretty tech cuz those golf cart got some made HP???

[bobzrag]

i can't even look at him any more - think i'm going to be sick....

[ericfoltz]

Camp David is actually pretty close to some really good riding.

Gambrill State Park is just south of there and has a couple of pretty tough trails.

I get the feeling that most of W's "Mountain Biking" consists of paved bike trails and dirt roads.

[davidB]

That sort of quality belongs on an Iron Horse.


*opens can of worms*

[L8 APEKS]

I would have figured Bush to be an Iron Horse type of guy...
