This was the final message to the "Tour de Taco", before we embark on that grand adventure, the Houston-Austin 2012 MS150

My fellow tacos,

The week, or really weekend, of the MS150 is upon us. The main thing is to think positively.

Yes there will be wind, but there will also be beer.

We may not have tacos, but we will have Fajitas.

You may be cramping (well, _I_ will be cramping!), but you can live in the solace that you are not suffering alone.

You may have to wait in line for the showers, but you will have beer the envy of all around you

There may be snoring, but YOU remembered your earplugs...

We shall go on to the end. We shall ride in Bellville, we shall ride on through La Grange and Bastrop and Austin. We shall ride with growing confidence and growing strength with our butts in the air, we shall defend the beer, whatever the cost may be. We shall ride against the wind, we shall ride Martin Luther King Blvd, we shall ride in the storms and in the rain, we shall ride in the hills; we shall never surrender!

And all will still say, _This_ was their finest hour

Taco Grande
