Now that Bush has had his moment in the WH spotlight for the unveiling of his (and Laura's) official WH portrait(s), he can return to private life to spend his time doing what he cares most about now that he has retired from public life. I only have two questions. What is that? Does anyone know?
He's spends a lot of time with wounded vets and wounded-warriors for one.
He likes to ride the 100k bike ride called W100 in Palo Verde Canyon in Texas which is part of the Military Service Initiative of the Bush Presidential Center, created to highlight the bravery and sacrifice of American service members as well as spotlight organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project that aid injured soldiers.

How much time? You said a lot. This is one event on one day with 20 Vets. I recall reading about the one from last year. Based on the attached story, 14 Vet participated in that particular event.
That's one event in an entire year for an activity that Bush by all accounts enjoys doing. In other words, it's a pleasurable activity for him, right? It's a stress reliever for him too since he engaged in this pastime while president. So, the bottom line from what you showed me is that Bush spends one day a year sharing his love of mountain biking with fewer than a couple of dozen Vets. Is that it? What about the other 364 days? More mountain biking?
