Although the Olympic mountain biking competition is still 10 days away, the US Mountain Biker in Chief got a chance to check out the Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course with a group of Chinese mountain bikers. After his ride Bush remarked to reporters “That’s why I’m an amateur and they’re Olympians,” and that the course is “really, really difficult.”

Wanna preview the course yourself before the Olympians rip it up? There are a couple models available from Google that give you a birds eye view or even a 3D model of the course itself. Ain’t technology great?
