Reply #5: He Is So Not A Real Cyclist [View All]

[CAcyclist]

Texas doesn't even have any real hills to climb anyway. 600 feet climbing is baby stuff. And it shouldn't take 2 hours to travel 17 miles!

He has to make that rule that no one is allowed to pass him, otherwise most would probably leave him in the dust.


"I like speed," he says. He has gotten to 32 mph on a hill at Camp David, lightning-fast when you're riding knobby tires on a paved road."

32 mph on a paved road is NOT lightning fast. Moderately fast, maybe.

"To warm up, he climbs aboard his $3,100 Trek (a gift from the bike company) and leads the group along asphalt roads. "


What?? He rides a mountain bike on a paved road? I can see riding a paved road to get to the trail but this is his ranch - so that means he went to the trouble of paving the road himself - or graveling it since it looks like a gravel road - that takes most of the fun out of mountain biking.

And that picture - look at his shirt - it's a regular shirt, not a biking jersey. You need a biking jersey so it will stay put when you are riding really fast and it will wick sweat away so you don't get chilled. The men behind him are real bikers - you can tell by their arms. Compare them to Bush. Major difference.
