mountain biking with Bush

This story about a ride with the president makes me want to take up mountain biking.

About halfway into the ride, [the president] hops off his bike and leads the group over a footbridge and up a rocky path to a waterfall recharged by recent rains. “You are about to see a part of the world that you won’t believe.”

The falls are spectacular, and several riders pose for pictures with the president. The place has the feel of a secret hideaway.

[At the end of the ride, s]weat drips from his chin. There’s blood on his hand and the back of his leg from scrapes with branches and his pedals, but nothing serious. He high-fives everybody and declares it a “fantastic way to start a Saturday.”
