Kerry The Cyclist

I have a newfound fondness for John Kerry. According to this report in the news section of the trade site Bicycle Business, John Kerry is a serious long-distance cyclist. The Senator from Massachusetts rides many charity events and last August came in 37th out of a field of 3000 in the 110-mile Pan-Massachusetts Challenge ride. The report also tells how Kerry finished an 80-mile ride to the Kennedy compound on Cape Cod in freezing weather that Greg LeMond, three-time Tour de France winner who was also riding in the event, called the worst conditions he’d seen.

A cyclist in the White House? Sounds fine to me. And Kerry will need all the stamina of a long-distance rider if he is to outpace the Repugs by November.

  1. Kerry also has an interest in learning how to play classical guitar, something he apparently got interested in only recently. You gotta love a guy who seems to have a genuine interest in life-long learning.
