That’s right – the time has arrived for the 2023 edition of Le Tour de Couch Potato to begin. We’ll start pedaling at midnight tonight which means registration will close at the same time. If you haven’t signed up yet, what are you waiting for?
As of now, we have 161 potatoes who have signed up – let’s hope all of them finish. We’re looking for no mashed potatoes and no DUD SPUDS.
A Little Extra Challenge – Duchess Potato has added a graphic to our home page with the annual mile pedaled in Le Tour. I’ll throw out a challenge to our potatoes to try and reach a collective 30,000 miles this year. We’ve never gone that far but I bet we can do it – who’s in?
Mile Tracking – Please remember to post your miles (yes miles, no kilometers please – junior high math was a long time ago for me) daily or almost daily using the website mileage tracker. Everyone should have received an email from me (letourdecouchpotato@gmail.com) with the password to log miles. If you didn’t, please reach out and I’ll resend – also check your spam folder. I did get 3 or 4 of them returned as undeliverable – if we don’t have your email address correct, you won’t get credit for your miles – bummer.
Potato Names – Yep, I’m working on potato names for our new potatoes. Work has kept me a little busy so I’m behind this year. Everyone will have a potato name before the end of the weekend, however. I will say, it’s getting more difficult as over the years, we have named 569 potatoes – starchy!
Final Reminder – Updates come out almost daily. The target is around 7:00 – 8:00 pm ET each evening. It does take some time to compile everything so if your miles are logged early evening, they may not show on the blog until the next day. No worries – you’ll be able to see them online as we pedal. If you don’t see them, you may not have used the correct email address – that’s on you 🙂
Get ready to pedal and have some fun. If you know anyone else who would enjoy this little slice of heaven in July, please get them to sign up too.
Happy Pedaling,
Madam Tuber
