Day 6 is Behind Us

Check out all those sexy spuds!! Our potatoes are stomping on the pedals to get those miles in. Two additional potatoes made it “official” today. DragonFry is over the 100 mile mark with 119.0 miles and CycoTater has a shiny new magnet with 108.5 miles. Congratulations to our newest finishers.

That gives us 12 official taters, averaging 2 per day. With 136 pedaling potatoes, that average is sure to increase. I see a few yet to be named taters in the mix – I’ll get to naming you by the weekend.

It’s that time of Le Tour – I must point out that 37 spuds have yet to make it off the couch. You are in jeopardy of becoming DUD SPUDS. No one wants that – let’s get out there and pedal. The weekend is coming so find a friend and pedal your buns off.

Potato Happenings

Bar Fry spotted a cloud formation in the shape of an eye – don’t potatoes have eyes? Or was it God watching to make sure there was not cheating?

Chip-N-Dale is still trying to figure out what CycoTater got him into – he’s looking for a Proud Mary IPA as a reward when this is all over. – One Proud Mary IPA and one Ranch Water, coming right up.

Harley Taterson was out on the Trails of Wakefield Valley making those miles count while Oh-Kay Tuber started her day off right with a nice pedal as well.

Yam Kronen got in a ride that did not include being chased by dogs (a first, it seems) – also lower temps so sounds like a nice ride all around.

Seafaring Spud and Wolfpack Potato were out on the W&OD Trail from Ashburn, VA to Purcellville – nice flat, shady route through horse country. Then Caroling Brothers BBQ was the reward at the end. One more ride and they’ll make it “official”.

Senator Spud was out for some early morning watts – and just about to hit the finish line. Fry Like an Eagle was out early as well. They have the right idea to beat the heat.

Billy Spud beat the heat like I typically do – by spinning in the basement.

Administrivia

With all of this pedaling, our potatoes have totaled 6,438.27 miles. Only 23,561.73 miles left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there.
