WACO — President Bush is getting plenty of bike time during his ranch vacation and next weekend he even gets to hit the trails with seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong told ABC's "This Week" today that he'll travel to Crawford next Saturday to ride mountain bikes with the president around Bush's ranch.

"It's a dream scenario for me," Armstrong said. "Now that President Bush doesn't run anymore, he rides his mountain bike fanatically. People wonder why he stays at the ranch so long, it might be the mountain bike trails."

1. Uh oh, bruised face coming...

NOW it's an official Bush vacation... I was wondering when he was gonna get on something with wheels and fall on his ass again.

2. so much for lance entering politics........

just another neocon fuck? If he was against what the current administration is doing...would he be going there?

3. I think Lance will enter politics.

I've heard he has more Democratic friends than Repuke. His girlfriend is a Dem too. This is just PR I wouldn't get too concerned. I hope junior hits a few choice bumps in the road.

4. thanks for the update.

I was pretty sure he was a dem or leaned that way........guess he puts up with a lot of BS, so he will handle it just fine. I have always admired him.

5. My brother rides and what this man has accomplished is nothing but...

amazing! And that's not even considering the Cancer. Lance is the real deal. I hope he doesn't disappoint us and go Repuke either.

6. I'm surprised Lance would go right now of all times..

The Rethugs will make this into a massive PR event and Lance should know that.

The timing is unfortunate -- :cry:

Sheryl must be on tour that week or something.. :shrug:

At least MoPaul's animated GIF will remain current if they send the Cessna again.
