Former President Bush, Lance Armstrong Ride for Wounded Troops

TERLINGUA, Texas - Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has joined former President George W. Bush on the last leg of a three-day, 62-mile mountain bike ride with 15 American soldiers who lost limbs or suffered serious injuries in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The servicemen are part of the Wounded Warrior project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping rehabilitate soldiers injured in service after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The Warrior 100K ride began April 25. (See link for photos).

Bush said Wednesday his three days on the desert trails of Big Bend National Park were "real cool, unbelievable."

Armstrong commended the soldiers for their will to recover. He joked that Bush was "stronger" the last time he rode with him in 2005 and that the former president "kind of blew a gasket" this time.

Big Bend National Park is about 540 miles southwest of Fort Worth, on the border with Mexico.
