Bush to bike Olympic course
We learn from a Wednesday interview with Asian news organizations that President Bush plans to ride the Olympic mountain bike course when he is in Beijing next week. He mentioned it twice during the session.
First reference: “As a matter of fact, I’m going to mountain bike again on the Olympic, hopefully, on the Olympic course, just to get some exercise.”
Second reference: “I’m a sportsman. I love sports. As I mentioned, I’m looking forward, I hope I’ll be riding my mountain bike on the mountain bike trail. I’ll probably be taking the easiest route, because the hills looked quite steep the last time I was there.”
Other events on Bush’s Olympic agenda: “As I understand it, I think we’ve got a chance to go see the United States basketball team versus China, which ought to be a pretty interesting event. I bet it’s pretty noisy, as I understand the great Yao Ming, who plays for my old home town, Houston, the Houston Rockets, foot is healed. I hope so, because it will make it a very interesting contest.”
