Grab Your Coconuts, Change Your Armor, and Fly Like an Unladen Swallow

A unique event is taking place this Saturday afternoon. It's the Quest for the Holy Grail Benefit Bike Race! It's only five bucks to enter, and you'll be benefiting a cyclist who was injured by an uninsured motorist attempting to flee the scene of an accident. So it's for a good cause, and it'll really be something to see. Because not only is it a race (with 10 check points), it's also a scavenger hunt, with the Holy Grail itself as the apparent object of the hunt (although we're not sure how that's going to work, as the thing is notoriously hard to find - and is sometimes guarded by nasty, insulting Frenchmen). Prizes will be given out at the end, with extra points going to those who donate, and to those who come in costume! Of course, you don't have to come in costume; all cyclists are welcome. But we hope there will be some Sir Robins and Sir Lancelots out there, perhaps with bloody killer rabbits attached to their throats.
