    On our ride up Harding on Sunday we got to talking social rides, one person suggested taking the pace of the fastest rider on a ride and adding ten minutes for each additional person. If that's the case, this should take about 8.5 hours ;)

    No they are not big, but the cabbage and tortilla are quite the filler.

    what are you having done to it?

    Just call them around noontime to remind them you are coming in to get it as scheduled.

    $15 is probably more then enough unless your trying to set a record or something. I wouldnt suggest going for the record. Its not as easy as it sounds.

    They dont look that big. But still not easy to ride, eat tacos, drink beer then drive home.

    Im sure 9 could be done, but Im not going to try.


    Well it wouldnt make since for me to try 9. :beer:




    So stoked for tomorrow. I might have to fix up the bike to ride. Its single speeded right now. Ill probable be too lazy to do it tomorrow.

    Single Speed DownHill Bike. CANT WAIT!!!:bang:

    I've done a few eating contests in my day and even won a few. I am not going to try and break the record tomorrow - but after riding is when I am especially hungry and tend to overeat.

    Perhaps I will try for the record after losing another 20lbs. :-k

    Then again, maybe not. :lol:

    Since we will be eating and drinking after the ride, is there any reason to bring the Fat Tire 12 pack that's sitting in my fridge?

    I've won every pancake and pie contest I've entered, but tacos... I can't quite gauge... this could get interesting.

    We might have to throw down. But I'm not in contest form by any means.

    If it happens, I won't be drinking beer though - the drive home would be too effin miserable.

    I'm thinking an mid/late April date might could be a go.

    this is going to be entertaining...I recall myself saying many similar things last year, only to be thwarted by 6 tacos. I did have an allergic reaction to deal with though #-o

    but then again, taco eating challenges are a lesson best learned the hard way. eat up suckas! :bang:

    I'm almost excited to see if my record gets broken.

    There is a chance. I didn't know we were dealing with pros. I'm just a hungry college student.

    Good luck...
    the line is bad when there is 20. It's going to take forever to get food.

    I'm thinking about going to cronic tacos this time. Then when the line is gone I might one and a beer from the fish house.
