Leave it to Minneapolis to come up with this idea: a bike ride focused around tacos. That’s right, at 3:00 pm folks will gather at Gold Medal Park, ready for a casual bicycle ride and plenty of tacos. The route is not yet firmed up, but you can bet there will be plenty of corn and flour tortillas to be had.
Everyone is welcome…as is cash for those places on the tour that don’t take plastic. Simply show up and prepare yourself for bikes, tacos and awesomeness.
