Tacos ignite BLOG

Welcome all, I created this blog 9 months ago and never made a post. Turning the page and getting this party started all because of a few tacos. Sounds like a good plan right? 29er powers unite!!! Brent, Blaine, Jai, John, Jose, Tyson, Jason, Brian, and a few others were there for last night's Taco Ride. Not everybody was riding a big wheel but we still love them just the same. We hit the trail about 7ish and made our way to the booming town of Mineola. It blows my mind at how may people will ride a bike for tacos & margaritas. *Epiphany* It's not for the tacos, nor the margaritas. It is about good friends and good times. No club card needed, no membership required. You just need a bike in what ever shape or form you prefer. Grab a phone, use a telegraph, or find a good carrier pigeon to relay what time and where to meet. It's just that simple. It may take longer for others to get ready so be patient. At the same time I adhere to these words of wisdom spoken by the late great John Wayne, "Let's get moving, we're burning daylight!" Speaking of daylight, you will need a light on your bike for the way back. Unless you ride at the speed of light like John does. Good conversation and some sweet singletrack later we arrive in Mineola. We found a place rest our backsides and ordered up some tacos. The beer and margaritas flowed like something other than wine. Still darn tasty non the less. Before you know it hours have passed and it's time to head back. *Warning* Some people don't know their limits so you will need to watch for the occasional drunk rider. I don't know the legal limit when it comes to riding a bike, but if there is one a few people we passed would get a RUI. We all made it back safe and sound. Good time had by all!

And remember...get a big wheel, it just rolls faster.
