ALL DAY
12:00 AM
3rd Annual attempt to eat as many tacos in the Portland area as possible in a day! Self organize to decide where to roll and what spots to hit... It lasts ALL DAY Tuesday August 26th. NO SPECIFIC MEET-UP, ROUTE or END LOCATION. The ride is up to you! We love tacos. Portland has HUNDREDS of taco shops. That makes THOUSANDS of tacos available in locations liberally distributed throughout all 6 quadrants of our city EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Roll up and celebrate glorious tacos and appreciate taco makers. Reign of Taco Ride encourages supporting local and family owned businesses and hopes you'll take this opportunity to try unfamiliar/new and non-franchised spots. Log the progress of your delicious adventure! https://tacoapp.verynice.party/ → offers the ability to track your progress, and adds a competitive edge for taco teams: Points are awarded for each spot, bonus for being the 1st party there and/or for eating all the tacos on the menu. Steps: 1. Log in to register your self/team 2. Use interactive map as a guide to find spots 3. Ride yer bike* 4. Log places you visit (marked by a team-colored flag) Include: -bike-ability and taco ratings, - descriptions, -photos! *or other self-propelled instrument of transportation, cause we’re tryna work up an appetite here! The application will be updated (Spots reviewed, and 2024 reviews/flags archived or removed) prior to the 2025 event... Organized chaos is the only way to eat this incredible array of fantastic food. We need whole squadrons of self-propelled taco lovers to realize this collective a'chomp'lishment! All the links can be found at: https://linktr.ee/reign_of_taco_ride We wish you many tasty moments and maximum taco satisfaction and hope you saved your Pedalpalooza Appetites! The Reign of Taco Ride is the brain child of Joshua Force. Before departing on a leg of a lifetime bike tour (current location Chile!), and in response to local, non-ethnic food events (Pizza Week etc.) he wondered: how could you A’chomp’lish all the tacos in PDX in a day?!? The uncanny idea flabbergasted Karl Freitag but we thought to loop in Adam Novotny to help us with this puzzling concept! He became our web-wizard: assembling a comprehensive list of locations and developing our, tried-and-tested, online team-oriented interactive map app! Karl launched a Discord server for communication between taco riders and to send us feedback. In our first year we collectively visited about half of the spots in the metropolitan area. Thanks to all the ‘23 and ‘24 riders!
