Just got done scouting the XL PASADANGEROUS "SPOOKY" Route. I cannot describe how sick and twisted this route is.....a ride not to be missed by any true taco!!!!
fuck.. couldn't go because i had to study for an exam, plus i destroyed all my remaining inner tubes by pinching them with tire levers during the repacking. can i just drop out of school and ride taco tuesdays full time. that's make me happier.
NIce fukn route XL next to that river.Apart from the riding,I dont know what i enjoyed more,the night time hiking or the fire soccerball,the spooky stories and alot of MOMz.FUN NIGHT and MEMORABLE!! THANKS TT
Okay, so my upper body is definitely sore today from flipping forward over my bike after putting the front tire through a grate at memorial park. Oiy, glad it wasn't too bad though.
it felt like mission impossible scattering like rats on via del mar around onto the beach and running on the sand holding my mountain bike over my head...... crazy night. i love my tacos!!!!!!!!!!
YA MOTHER FUCKER, I CRASHED AND STILL ENDED UP IN A LIQUOR STORE, I DONT REMEMBER THAT HAPPENING, BUT HEY, PICS DONT LIE !!! , BEEEE-OOOOOCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!
Not to change the subject from the awesome ride happening tonight, but if you saw the Airbus A380 take off Tuesday night near Dockweiler, this could be the same plane. I cut out but did you guys make it to the hill by 10:30? Yeah, front tires exploded on landing in Sydney and landing gear caught fire, which was probably very interesting and exciting for the passengers. If anyone cares to figure out the timing, you could confirm if its the same plane. Too fat to land!
some of my non-involved homies actually hit me up and asked if i was going to the last taco tuesday........ i wonder how many people actually showed up
We can count up to ten, we can count to a hundred
and these are two numbers that we understand
And we can take one, multiply by the other,
and in this way get ourselves up to a grand
But much more than that and it starts to lose meaning
the mind just can’t feel the big numbers it knows
I guess it’s just that we get too far away from
our trusty friend old Mister Fingers and Toes
And so we use years when we count up our birthdays
but then there’s the problem of having so few
and really it’s days we have, that’s what we’re spending
and every day we get one brand spanking new
So don’t let too many days spin off uncounted
This year thing is nonsense, a terrible trap
We hope that each one of your days will be happy
except that there’s bound to be some filled with crap
Thought so - what, did some fire soccer get a little outta control? What did you guys do to that poor plane? Just cause it's fat don't mean it ain't got feelins.
crazy we have the same theme..lucky 13 maybe its a sign, night owl meets taco.I was planning to go to the park on pico and motor i forgot the name.Rancho park i think.
XL,you know i want to be there for the epic ending at benitos and pan pacific.....please tell me there are plans for moms patch making to meet up with you guys?
LOL LOL LOL>>> Well i just got out of JAIL!!!! YAAAAAHHHHH.. Well i finally went to Jail for Taco Tuesdays..... That shit totally sucked, i was 7 blocks from my house when i was pulled over for being to close to the left lain while rideing in the righr lain... BULL SHIT.... So then they slapped a felony on me for having my perscription pills in my bag and not having the perscription on me, not to mention the 2 open containers in my bag, my weed and I blew (get this) a .099 on the breathalizer test whis is .009 more that is legal... lol lol lol . BULL SHIT i say........ So $1000 for bail and 14 hours later Im home... Time to smoke a bowl.. LOL VIVA LOS TACOS>>>>>>>>>
I can't believe they got you after 96 weeks. Did you tell em you are Uncle Richard from taco Tuesday? That's like diplomatic immunity or something right? haha

I fuckin' miss Taco Tuesdays, like literally miss. Im still havin tuesday night withdrawals, which include wandering sf with a taco and 2 buck chuck...
I will be collecting money to send little Bobby to summer camp. I may be showing up late so if you would like to make a donation, you can give your money to either me or Siku.
Proceeds will go to sending Bobby to various sleepaway and day camps, which can get very expensive. More monnever= more camp, so please give what you can!
and what's the deal with this westsidazz mom ride saturday XL, are you planning on leaving moms before the festivities are over? i kinda actually want to do these two events in long beach but that's gonna make it a very long night.... -___-
Terrible fucking news ... just ridiculously bad ... I will not be able to attend TT 100 ... im really kinda bummed as I was planning really really bad ... but in case your wondering why ... I have to work ...Yes having a full time job means making some ruff choices ... but what this does mean is I think that I will be joining everyone tonight on #99 ....
I'm sure that this is a stupid question but I'm gonna ask it anyway...
The "Pasadangerous" ride is going to end up at (or at least near) Pasadena, right?
The reason I'm asking is because we want to leave the car in Pasadena and Metro it over to either Culver City or maybe to Hollywood to meet up with the Early Night Owl Ride.
so i tried bringing every1 to pasadangerous....3 tires popped, 2 chains broke, 2 tickets, my friend jay got hit by a car and totaled his back rim....this while riding to the meet up and we still tried to catch u guys at the train station after having fixed everything. i wasnt meant to be at 99 i guess. I WILL SEE ALL OF YOU ON 100, MARK MY WORDS, BRIGHT AND FUCKING EARLY!!!!!
FYI - Camp Taco Tuesdays will be postponed until a later date in Summer (For all those tacos who knew about the #100 Part B) We will do an overnighter celebration sometime close to the middle of Summer, we will post it far in advance.
SEE YOU TUESDAY!!!!

1.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
2.
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
3.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
4.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
5.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
6.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred.
Taco Tuesday #100 was a blast I just got home..cant wait to see the pics
Amazing set of 4 spoke cards....I personally had a blast helping The Crew With XL make cards ...*hard work * and pepper was out there with Sum Bomb Grilled cheese...plus Mad probs to MattSpeed With the PB&J plus other goodies all going to a good Cause ALC...
was in amazing touch by great spoke card birthday cake ...!!! much luv whens the reunion ?
Well, it was a kickass crowd of new and OG Tacos at the park last night.
So many heads, I lost count of everyone on the joyous occasion, the T-Shirts rocked ass.
Only bad part was my friends crank bolt falling out and having to slow crawl all over the Westside on an endless chase.
But in the end, I came out with my shirt and we all got cake in our faces!!!
damn that was so fucking amazing!!!! taco tuesdays till i die!
seeing cesar shout out his accomplishment of 100 fucking weeks in a row!!!
wow. just amazing!
and cops cant stop us!
everyone is so damn awesome. love y
jro did break his arm heard he was alright tho
Think about this; all the parks that are closed at 10pm are now open to us and we will have the same rights to be there as anyone else. There are more incident calls at that time so some of the resources that are wasted following us will be put to better uses at that time.
Yes, some peeps are still working at the ride time, but you can always meet up a the first or second stop.
Not to say that this will be the new time every week, maybe it's just a one time thing (only Uncle Richard knows), but maybe this change can deter some of the asshole shit that has happened on previous rides that we all would like to see end.
The future is unwritten....

All fine and dandy, but living behind the "mini-Rockies" and being the only one at the house with a license is putting the kibosh on it for this meet-time.
Hahaha so I was unable to attend the ride due to I had to drive my mother to the hospital, but we saw you guys at the 7-11 parking lot on sepulveda and venice, my mother was the crazy lady screaming "WOOOOOOOOO, TACO TUESDAY" "IS THIS TACO TUESDAY" ahahah ive never been more proud than that moment haha! VIVA TACO TUESDAY.
SOOOOOOO GOOD TONIGHT!!! REMINDS ME OF THE OLE DAYZ!!!

Sadly, Cesar will not be making to the ORSA of ESTA this Saturday. We are looking for a volunteer to ride the sound bike or put the sound system on their bike rack. Any volunteers?
Looking forward to tonight! But I'm a little curious as to what the Pasadangerous route will involve? I see train fare, so what exactly am I in for? I'm up for anything but I'm bringing some people along and we're just wondering what the ride's going to be like tonight.
See everyone later! :)

If you have heard of the PDX ZooBomb, it's kinda like that. We roll to DTLA and take the train up to Memorial Station in Pasadena. There are a few hills but nothing serious, then we get a 13 mile downhill cruise back into DTLA, get some tacos (probably at Tacos Mexico) then roll back to CM Park. It's a fun ride, about 35 miles in total (13 miles are a downhill cruise) Bring $1.25 for the train and be sure to have bike lights and extra tubes ;)

I was a bit surprised when I tiredly walked from the LAX Flyaway to the goldline to ride the goldline back to Highland Park. I thought to my self this must be midnight Ridazz and someone said more specifically it was Taco Tuesday... The guy drinking the PBR asked that I post some of these up, so I did. Here you go PBR guy!
Haha, I'm the PBR guy. But hey, this MR ridazz, so who isn't the PBR guy.
and on a lighter note: our great rida lindsey is leaving back to NY tomorrow, so this will be her last TT for a while...come out and say your goodbyes and ur badbyes!
ride was on point! I still think OJ is guilty. I'm glad I finally got my cherry popped. I didn't get a spoke card though, but I'll try to make it out to as many Taco Tuesdays as I can before I start working full time again.
I'm challenging Ceaser to a dance off next time! :)
Well, I've got full-time work to pay for sort of full-time school for the fall.
As far and few between I'll try to make, I'll be down there on the dot.
As for now, I proudly sport the Taco Colors whenever I'm riding up here, working out at the Super Sport, out-of-uniform at work, or being the only guy NOT wearing a Metal Mulisha t-shirt.
I definitely got ten stitches last night after a spill on the ride! Taco Tuesday will be the death of me... but thanks to everyone who gave me a boost into the pool! That was beautiful :)
i wore it to a house party. some chick thought it was from senor fish.
till i laid it down and told her its fuckin taco tuesdays BC
also at the bank and the stores and on FMLY
and i wear it every wed to work dirty and smelling of booze and cinco de mayo

You dumb ass little kids who act like douche bags and cause trouble with innocent old men in cars are effin ridiculous. If you want to act tough, go somewhere else. All you do is make me and all us non-violent smart riders look bad. If you wanna fight someone, punch yourself in the face. And to that little effer who threw the firecracker that exploded right over my head, you are lucky I was on my bike or else I would have knocked you the eff out. Little boys need to grow up or stay home. I hope one day one of you gets arrested for acting like an asshole.
On another note, thanks again for another great ride TT, minus those little bitches!! xoxo love you all, expect you little douche bags!!!
I like to think of those little douchebags as fleshy obstacles. They make my ride on Taco Tuesday risky and exciting when I think about one of them colliding into me. That fountain bike ride was awesome BTW
Despite the negativity I hear about, that's part of what makes this ride an adventure.
I just got to remember to not bring those that will get left behind next time, my unconventional manner of thrill-seeking might get the wrong people thrown to the chipper.
some little kid bounced off another rider and ate shit in front me, causing me to eat it, had to grab the train at little tokyo, my knee was all chewed up. thanks little fucker!!!
where are you guys meeting at this time please information please!!! i have gone twice to this ride and they were both dope and they both met in different locations
On Friday Sept. 17th, one of our long-time members of Taco Tuesdays was involved in an incident with some local residents of a beach community that we regularly ride through. This incident caused negative feelings about our bicycle club as a whole. As a member of the Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club, your actions on and off the ride can sometimes reflect on our group as a whole. We ask you to please take the time to think about your actions and the effects that this might have on your life and our group. Please read the below mission statement of Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club:
MISSION STATEMENT OF THE TACO TUESDAYS BICYCLE CLUB
Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club is a group of family and friends that meet on Tuesday nights to celebrate life and love through riding bicycles, interacting with the public in an open and friendly manner, and having fun events at the places we stop. We are an open organization that invites the population as a whole to join in our celebration and ride without prejudice. We ask that all new, old, and future members please follow “The Tacos Code of Ethics”.
THE TACOS CODE OF ETHICS
Honesty, compassion, being open-minded, being non-confrontational, and being friendly to strangers are some of the positive ethics that we embrace as members of the Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club. Members are asked not to ride in an unsafe manner that may injure themselves or others, not to steal from anyone or any entity, not to de-face pubic or private property with graffiti or any type of destruction, not to litter, and not to act aggressive or use violence towards any member of our group or any person or persons of the general population on the ride or in life.
Thank you very much for being an active member of the Taco Tuesdays Bicycle Club. We look forward to many years of good times and great rides.
Hey All,
My first taco tuesday ride was last night, and it freaked me out how much disregard for our fellow man (cars etc) that the ride seemed to have in the beginning. Is there any possibility of setting an age minimum? It seemed to me most of the ones starting problems were the young kids filled with piss and vinegar. That being said, I enjoyed the ride and met a lot of cool peeps and will be coming next week, but there was such a disregard for safety and laws, I'm surprised the cops didn't arrest anyone. Not to mention that noone picked up after themselves in the parks we stopped in, which also doesn't help in bettering the bicycle image in the town.
Anyway, I hate to be so negative cause I did have fun, but there's always room for improvement.
"That being said, I enjoyed the ride and met a lot of cool peeps AND WILL BE COMING NEXT WEEK, but there was such a disregard for safety and laws, I'm surprised the cops didn't arrest anyone."
@DenverNugs
I really don't understand what your point of your post is? You seem to bitch about how crazy and unlawful Taco Tuesdays is, you ask for an age minimum to be set, and you say stuff that is not true like:
"Not to mention that NOONE picked up after themselves in the parks we stopped in"
I guess I don't count because I was asking people to pick up their trash and was picking up other peoples trash as well, maybe you should have been helping out if you are so worried about building a better bicycle image. For a first time rider of Taco Tuesdays and a newbie (10-7-10) to the forums, you sure seem to jump right out there and post a bitch forum about our ride and then say you want to ride it again next week. This really does not make much sense to me or want to welcome you back to ride with us, so thanks for the mixed up negative/improvement post but I think we can do our ride without you. Cheers!
I think you really looking for this part of the website ADD A RIDE

Hey dude,
I meant no disrespect, and you're absolutely right, I'm new to the forum and new to LA. I wasn't posting a "bitch" just a simple observation. I did hear you tell people to pick up after themselves, but I think it was maybe me and 4 other people who listened. If it came off as me "bitching" about the ride, that was not my intent. I said I had fun, because I did- other people acting like imbeciles simply makes me feel embarrassed to be a part of the group. I just OBSERVED that there were a lot of young kids who were just disrespecting people on the street, in cars and even fellow bikers. One kid even told me to "Go back to Europe white boy" to which I laughed and smiled, but he didn't. I understand that thats how things are done on Taco Tuesday, but I also heard that the cops don't really like the TT crew, coincidence? Rather than a bitchfest, I'll just ask a question, How does disrespecting the general public help the image of LA bikers, of which I am apart now?
If you don't want me on the ride, thats totally cool, there's plenty of others to partake in.
I hear you about young kids disrespecting the public, and if you would have taken some time to read the TT forums or most of the larger group ride forums you would understand that we are always trying things to discourage that type of behaviour from everyone who rides with us. You saying "I understand that thats how things are done on Taco Tuesday" makes me realize that you REALLY don't understand how things are done on Taco Tuesdays. There are many people who work really hard at making Taco Tuesdays and all MR rides happen and try to educate ridazz to follow the "Rulezz of the Ride", but for a first time guy to start a forum posting about how embarrassing, unlawful, and how the cops really don't like the TT crew (so you heard) is ridiculous to me and expresses to me a lack of respect towards the crew who works very hard at trying to educate the younger generation and keeping the ride going on every week. Thank you for your observation and yes it's totally cool with me as well for you to partake in other rides rather than coming on Taco Tuesdays from now on :)
