Former President George W. Bush kicked off his annual W100K bike ride Thursday, with 16 post-9-11 veterans logging 12 miles at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Tex.
The Bush Center website explains the event:
Each spring, approximately 20 servicemen and women wounded in the global war on terror join President George W. Bush for a 100-kilometer mountain bike ride. Part of the Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative, the W100K highlights the bravery and sacrifice of warriors and recognizes organizations that support America’s heroes.
