  1. White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the group consisted of Bush,
    Armstrong and about eight other cyclists, including Secret Service
    personnel and White House staffers. The president led "Peloton One" on
    a two-hour, 17-mile ride with a 10-minute break at the site of a
    waterfall on the ranch.

    "He's a good rider," Bush said of his guest as a White House
    photographer took their picture, Duffy said. At the end of the ride,
    Bush presented Armstrong and the other riders with T-shirts
    commemorating their "Tour de Crawford."

    17 miles in two hours? Was it all uphill?

    Al, you Stud, you -

    That's fairly typical for a mountain bike ride.

    thanks,

    K. Gringioni.

  4. I keep looking at those news reports from Crawford ... sure looks flat.

    Oh, bullspit. He MIGHT have just meant that Lance rode a MOUNTAIN bike
    pretty well for a roadie. Or he COULD have had his tongue planted firmly in
    cheek. (Afterall, who would expect a 7-time winner of the TdF to be a good
    rider?)

    It's the weekend. Take a day off from your biased whining...

    You've never mountain biked, have you?

    17 miles is a pretty decent-length mountain bike ride. Unless it was ALL
    fireroad (and it's not), two hours is about right.

    YEAH! How dare those humorless poopyheads make a joke about our
    Fearless Leader! It really makes me mad that those liberals can't take
    a joke and don't understand humor! I'm so angry, I think I'll go punch
    my Al Franken doll. I only wish it was the real thing!

    I can remember when John Kerry rode his Soretta around a parking lot, it was
    a big deal, all these folks thought he was the greatest biker in the world.

    I'm confused. Are we talking about Armstrong, our leader. Or Bushy,
    our leader?

    "Fuller" quoted an article and then added his interpretation. (That's what
    "Read:" means when used like that.) If it was intended as a good-natured
    poke, then your point is taken. However, he used all caps and a derogatory
    term ("emperor" -- quite similar to all the "American Imperialism" rhetoric
    thrown around lately), so I'm guessing he was serious (read: ANGRY).

    You can still bop Franken for {the good of mankind} me, though.

    Then you remember falsely about John Kerry and his Serotta and

    Oh [censored]. Now I'm confused. I thought Kurgan was our leader.

    Wow. I had no idea what you were talking about, so I googled "fark".
    That's a great site!

    that's not "old school" thinking, that's "short bus" thinking.
