Bush Bikes With Seriously Injured Veterans

Now this is what I call class in a former President:

Former President George W. Bush is hosting a 100-kilometer mountain bike ride in the Panhandle’s Palo Duro Canyon State Park for military members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The three-day ride begins Thursday. This is the second year for Bush to host the Warrior 100K. Last year, the ride was held in the Big Bend region of West Texas.

In a statement, Bush says the ride is a reminder of the “unbelievable courage, skill and sacrifice of those who wear the uniform of the United States.”

And yes, Bush is riding along with these brave men and women, as you can see on the photos from the event’s website.

You can see him clearly in this photo.

Now look for that light tan shirt and white shorts in these riders:

Way to go, Mr. President.
