This Sounds Like the Set-Up to a Joke . . .

Q. What do you get when you get some cycling pastors, a three-man bamboo bike and a cross-country ride?

A. The Tour de Revs, where three Lutheran pastors take on a 13,000 mile bike ride over 100 days to raise money for hunger relief. The trio--the average age of which is 60--departed on May 13, planning to end finally on August 20 in Minneapolis. To top it all off, all three are riding a single bike (called a "triplet") made of bamboo.
