New Taco Ride T-Shirts For 2009
2009TacoRideShirtsNew Taco Ride t-shirts are now available and will be sold this week on the ride.  The cost is $15. Look for them at the trail head.

 

In addition, Taco Ride Koozies are still on sale.  They are $4 each.  The shirts and koozies are being sold by the Wabash Angels.

 

The Wabash Angels are a group that raise money to support various projects related to the Wabash Trace Nature Trail.


This year the Wabash Angels have joined with the Mineola Volunteer Fire Department to raise money for the purchase of an emergency vehicle for easy access on the trail.  Currently, existing equipment is to large and heavy to access many parts of the trail which makes it difficult to respond to medical emergencies with hikers and bikers.
 
Silver City: An Alternative To Mineola

Tacoride.com first published the following article on the website last year.  Recently, we have been receiving inquiries about the ride to Silver City, so we are reposting this article.  -BN

It's the middle of summer and the crowds at Mineola have been huge.  If you're looking for something a little quieter or want to avoid the lines out the door, silvercity2hop back on your bike and ride 4 more miles to Silver City.

 

Obviously, the party is at the Mineola Steakhouse.  However, riding to Silver City early in the evening is a great way to beat the crowd and also have some good food.


The ride is a fairly easy and is both quiet and scenic.  It's a nice trip and everyone who rides the Taco Ride should make the journey at least once.  silvercity3Once in Silver City, the town's only bar serves up a wide selection on its menu.

 

Back on your bike, you can always stop in Mineola for the party once the early crowd has begun to clear out.  You'll be back in time for Karaoke!

Rider-of-the-Week

07-02-09
It was Luau night, so this week we were looking for the best dressed person and who appeared really ready to be in the party mood.  We think Emily won "Rider-of-the-week" hands down.
