BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas - Three days, 100 kilometers, and 14 military
service members wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Warrior 100 is a unique
mountain bike event in west Texas made possible by the George W. Bush
Presidential Center ... and the President himself put on a helmet and placed
his feet to the pedals.
The 14 wounded veterans and President Bush began the race Monday in the Big
Bend National Park area with an almost 20km trek. The riders were scheduled
to complete more than 48km Tuesday before ending with a 32.3km ride
Wednesday.
"The W100 will highlight the bravery and physical strength of the warriors
wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan, as well as those organizations that have
made continuing commitments to supporting America's heroes," a statement
read on the Warrior 100K website.
Several companies and individuals have contributed to the event in support
of U.S. servicemen and women. The W100 marks the first event for the Social
Enterprise Initiative of the Bush Center.
