Tour deRevs Visit St. Paul

Tuesday evening, St. Paul hosted dinner for the riders of the triplet bike of the Tour de Revs. The Tour was on a ride around the synod getting used to their new bicycle made for three. Of course this was not just ANY bicycle made for three, but a bicycle made for three out of bamboo!

The actual Tour deRevs will take place next summer as they ride around the ELCA visiting every synod office and numerous congregations as they seek to raise funds and awareness for World Hunger, as well as for health and wellness. You can read more about their trek at their website TourdeRevs.org.

Some pictures from the evening:



The riders pose for picture with my boys and me... but why, you may ask are my pants hiked up like that?

Beacuse...














They let me get on the bike!!! Riding a triplet is not exactly like riding your everyday bike...

And here is a shot where we see the bamboo of the bike being joined by hemp and epoxy.














Please keep all of the pastors of the Tour and their spouses in your prayers as they continue to prepare for their awesome ride.
