So, I learned today that Corpse Whale Racing isn't organizing their annual Taco Bell century this year. Assuming what I heard is correct, I want to hopefully organize something similar but stopping at local joints instead.

My idea so far is to start somewhere that's easy to get to for a lot of people by bike, so probably Lito's at Bryant & Lake, and then from there getting some faster, uninterrupted miles in out in the suburbs by heading out to Mi Pueblo Express in Mound, followed by Lago Tacos in Excelsior and Aurelia's in Eden Prairie (Aurelia's is a must imo).

From then on I'm not sure so I'm looking for ideas for good places in the metro (mix of urban and suburban) that:

1. Are safe to bike to
2. Have counter service for quick in and out
3. Have space to loiter with our bikes and eat

And of course I'd appreciate any additional suggestions. I'm planning to put something together for mid-September on a Saturday preferably, starting around 10 am with a ~14-16 mph average pace, so not spicy (save that for the tacos) but not party pace either. No rules like having to eat something at every stop, this isn't a challenge beyond the fact that it'd be over 100 miles or riding. If people want to help me organize it, I would appreciate that too.

Map is very much provisional, but I live in NE and do very much want to include Los Cactus and El Taco Riendo. (Not mentioned: Brito's in Texatonka, Tacos El Kevin, Tacos El Primo, El Charrito in St Paul, Habanero on Lake St., then ending again at Lito's).

Any way to enlarge the hideous Tr*k logo?

Ann Wittecorpse, more like.

Can't recommend a Lester Prairie out and back enough for people looking to do their first century or just an easy ~ 100 miles in one go. Easy route (paved and little elevation), next to impossible to get lost, and minimal interactions with cars especially if you take the Cedar Lake LRT trail out to Cheesetown and then the Lake Mtka trail out to Wayzata to catch the beginning of the Dakota Rail Trail.

Also shoutout to that Fillo's walking tamal for being the highlight of my critically underfueled ride today (bc of my repeated stupid refusals to stop for more food—don't do this).

Oh nooo
