WOW – what a weekend!

Madam Tuber is away and the potatoes will play. Y’all were tearing up the streets this weekend. Ten more potatoes made it official today, bringing us to a total of 31 who have their magnets. We also crossed over the 10,000 miles pedaled mark today. Pedal, taters, pedal. Making it “official” today are:

Irish Spud was out with Loch Ness Potato for a “hot, sticky 97% humidity ride to finish with 114.10 miles. Uetz Chips had Dre Tater (who is over 1/2 way) with him as he earned his magnet with 112.10 miles – there could have been some breakfast incentive as well. Spudarama earned what I believe is a first magnet with 109.40 miles. Tom Tater was out pedaling with Casey at the Bat Potato as they headed for the Baked Shop again to finish up his miles with 103.56 miles – she is also almost done (less than 10 to go). Also over the finish line is Commen-Tater with 101.70 miles. Oh-Kay-Tuber started her day with a “Woo hoo” and a new magnet at 101.20 miles. Getting in his last miles before a thunderstorm is Tuber Effect, checking in with 101.18 miles. Spudding Genius earned a magnet today with 101.00 miles as did Swan Song Spud with 100.75 miles. Bandit Yam checks in with 100.70 miles and the earliest he’s earned his magnet. Congratulations to this big group of spuds earning magnets today!

So much fun to see all these potatoes pedaling together. And all that pedaling with it being hot, stormy and way less than ideal conditions. Let’s check out those potato happenings and make sure we didn’t have any mashed potatoes!

Potato Happenings

Po-Kae-To had a great day riding with other Couch Potatoes, including Chilli Cheese Fries that also reported in, on the Capital Trail near Jamestown! Beautiful scenery, lots of folks around biking, running, walking & my biking partner & I chatted the whole 25 miles! Afterwards, we visited Billsburg Brewery & had lunch! So much fun! I hear there’s a picture coming to FB so we can see the whole group.

Kartoffel Kaiser did not even see the squirrel run out from under a shaded tree until it was milliseconds from having its tail amputated by her front tire. Whew! So glad to not have to special order the tiny instruments. (Seinfeld fans )

Potato Jam was pedaling while trying to beat the storms coming in from the West.

Touring Potato reports in as not starting with a big bang, bad legs…but there is always tomorrow. No DUD SPUD here!

MelaTater was out on a Gwynn’s Island ride with friends ending with beers at Hole In The Wall. Good times!

Mythical Patata rode with Potato Prez and Tater Excellency for some soggy (humid) miles but they were reported as “fun” and followed by beer!!

Potato Chip Rock survived two hours on the spin bike. It included a scenic ride along the coast of Norway (and surely a sore bum). Lots of fishing villages. That calls for fish tacos for dinner.

Tubular Tater summed it up for all of us “Ouch it’s hot”

Administrivia

With all of this pedaling, our potatoes have totaled 10,368.63 miles. Only 19,631.37 miles left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there.
