Day 4 on July 4th. Today’s update is a little early since I need to go pop off for a bit with some shenanigans. We have five potatoes who made it over the finish line today and earned their magnets. Sinful Spud checks in with 110.3 miles. Mythical Patata was joined by Spud Cool and a non-potato (next year?) to finish with 105.47 miles. Dicktater is done with 102.25 miles, Swisher Sweet Potato is also over the line with 101.69 miles and Potato Chip Rock has a new magnet with 101.2 miles. Congratulations to all newest official potatoes.
We also have several shout outs from our potatoes, wishing all of you a Happy 4th and Happy Birthday to America. Wishes are coming from Pommes Soufflees, Chip-N-Dale, Harley Taterson, Captain Spud, and Baked Potato.
Potato Happenings
Dre Tater is now off the couch and 1/4 the way through. She is one of 119 potatoes who are now off the couch. CycoTater was out early enough to beat the heat and back early enough to enjoy a mimosa. Lenko Latkes enjoyed a little of Le Tour de France on a stationery bike riding the Col de la Columbiere. Also indoors was Hashed Healy – escaping the heat.
Disorderly Tater escaped the hills today, but not the heat. The Baltimore Annapolis trail did have shade so that helped some. Christmas Potato was fast on the pedals and narrowly escaped a suicidal chipmunk.
La Nuova Patata had one of her best rides ever with Cajun Gator Tater Tot (her grandbaby) out on her brand new bike – Tot, that is. Swisher Sweet Potato was out with the “Biker Chicks of Crawford County” (Illinois) – several potatoes in the group so I’m sure much fun was had by all.
Haus of Spuds is sharing a physics lesson with us all – or anyone who braved the mountains on a bike. An Einstein-based exception in Relativity that makes a mile in the mountains about 35% longer than a mile at sea level (and flat). I LIKE it!
Tubular Tater reports in with coming around the turn for KDH I felt the wind freshen and the chain deslack on my upshift, I heard, nay I felt the thunder…I knew at .6 miles in it was not going to be just any day, it was going to be a three martini nite!
While Tubular Taters was a great update, we had one that was definitely shitty – and I mean that literally. Artful Tuber got pooped on by a bird (her leg, thankfully). Since it was only a mile into her ride, she went back home and cleaned it off and went back out. I think she needs those martinis as well – or some

Please remember to enter your miles using the email address you registered with. If you use a different email address, you will not get credit for those miles. And when you wonder where they are, we have to play search and rescue!
All of these potatoes, and more, have brought our total miles to 4132.52. Only 25,867.48 left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there.
