Rain, rain, go away – we’re pedaling anyway!

Our second weekend is in the books and we have eight more potatoes who made it official today, bringing our total count to 35. Congratulations go out to Varri Spudly with 110.6 miles and a new magnet. CycoTater dodged the raindrops with CompuTater to finish her tour with 109.5 miles. Also finishing up today is Mystery Spud with 104.1 miles. Crossing the finish line together with 103.5 miles are Ain’t No Tater High Enough and Price is Right Potato. Fry Alicia has a new magnet with 102.1 miles, as does Potato Bytes with 101.5 miles. And our final finisher today, with I believe his 10th magnet, is Tottering Tater with 101.4 miles. Way to go taters!

We had a big second weekend and are up to almost 12,500 miles in total and they miles keep coming! 198 potatoes are off the couch now with 14 days left to pedal. I’m watching some of our possible DUD SPUDS – if you have a friend who is still on the couch, take them for a bike ride!

Potato Happenings:

It sounds like rain won the day on most of the east coast of the US again today. Duchess Potato had a second day inside due to the rain and I missed another opportunity as I was too busy enjoying some shenanigans (those who know me, know what I mean!). Waked Potato braved the rain for 40 miles with some friends – they were laughing in the rain instead of singing in the rain.

Surfin’ Spud and Spudly Beach Bum were out again today catching up on some miles. Grape Tater was out for his first outdoor ride since last years Tour de Couch Potato – unfortunately, it showed as he forgot his water bottle. Laura Latkes enjoyed the Tour de France and Men’s Wimbledon final while getting her miles.

Bud Spud is pedaling on her Peloton with her eyes on Jungle Spud – doesn’t want him to get ahead – he’s on the mountain bike and she’s at home keeping up. Potato Chip Rock did chores first then rode – with sore legs from the chores. The order will need to be switched next time. Loch Ness Potato was cursed with 2 flat tires today so it was a short ride.
