George W. Bush and I could not be any further apart politically. I am a Kossack from Day One, UID #207, and he is the guy whose policies inspired me to become a Kossack.
But we are both mountain bikers, and when I was asked to sign a copy of my book on that subject for Mr. Bush, I was honored to do so.
Today I received a very nice hand written thank you note from Mr. Bush. It reads:
Dear Charlie,
Thank you for signing Fat Tire Flyer. It is a very interesting history of the sport I love. I'm rollin' as much as my 69 year old legs will allow -- Ride on!
George W. Bush
