Found a photocopied flyer for something called the "St Francis Fun Ride" stuck on my bike in the city yesterday. It has a fantastic picture of a statue of st frank, palms raised towards the heavens in a gesture of piety, holding... a fixie.
Anyone know what it is, why it costs $10, and why I need to take the flyer's advice to "Say my prayers"?
Christian youth outing? I suspect not.

Christian youth outing? I suspect not.Interesting, but sounds like someone's got their cats, dogs and bikes confused. The Madonna del Ghisallo is the patroness of cyclists.

Did someone say 'all*yc*t'?
Spread the good word for the St Francis 'Fun Ride' this 29 July 2005.
Checkpoints announced on the night. Out of towner/non-courier friendly.
Cash prizes and schwag, and hopefully a custom bag to the winner!
Say your prayers and join the mass - not the critical one.
forward the message and go in peace.
amen. -
