Day 1 of the 13th edition of Le Tour de Couch Potato has started and we have 44 potatoes on the road. Tri Potato is leading the way (and over half way) searching for that magnet. The boys in France have already reported in with at least one Mashed Potato but we haven’t had any of that (so far).
Today’s blog image is our first look at the 2023 Le Tour magnet. Once you cross the 100 mile mark, Duchess Potato will email you with ordering instructions!
Potato Happenings:
Tri Potato “tried” to make the whole Capital Trail today but the heat won out. That always seems to get us with our July ride – but we persevere.
Pork Belly burnt ends, “Ranch Waters” – I think this is a beverage, and Fried Chicken were all on the pre-ride menu for Chip-N-Dale, CycoTater and Tubular Tater. Eatin’ good before pedaling. May have slowed them down but not too much – Tubular Tater sill enjoyed a martini after the ride.
Also on the menu were Joey Bag of Donuts – Tom Tater arrived just as they open to get the really fresh ones.
Potato Prez beat the heat by spinning and watching the “other” Le Tour as they travel through Spain. It looks like Billy Spud and Harley Taterson were also spinning away the day.
Touring Tater was one of a few rookies who made her first every Couch Potato ride today – with 3.1 miles in, she’s off the couch!
Administrivia:
All in, we’re at 748.55 miles – 29251.45 to go to meet our “extra-challenge” goal.
