Tour de Taco ride report

Report: fun! Was a huge turnout, although not the 400+ as RSVPs on Facebook, but still around a none too shabby 150. Despite the crowd, it was strangely orderly, not reminiscent of a critical mass ride at all. Groups were broken off of the main crowd, maps were provided, and everyone made the rounds to four different taco trucks in Oakland’s Hispanic dominated Fruitvale district. I hardly ever get down to East Oakland so it was nice to see a new side of my city

Bonus shot: riding home through Oakland’s Little Saigon we found this gem:

Well that’s it! Another successful taco truck ride, more to come I’m sure
