With about one week remaining, we’re up to 68 official potatoes including another 5 joined the ranks today.
Imi-tater is done with 114.00 miles. Captain Spud has his first hundred in with 109.60 miles and is working on his second. Laura Latkes has a new magnet with 108.00 miles while Tottering Tater has magnet number 11 (if my count is correct) with 104.50 miles. Mystery Spud is also over the finish line with 101.10 miles. Congrats to our latest finishers. I know more will be wrapping it up with the weekend coming. Maybe we’ll have over 100 official by Sunday’s report out???
We all need a shout out to Home Fries. She has done every Couch Potato but the first one. She’s only at 22 miles so let’s send her some positive vibes to get the rest of those miles to get to magnet number 12. Tomorrow we’ll check on those who have 10 magnets and are working on number 11.
157 potatoes are now off the couch with 23 still napping. Warning to one of those 23 – you work with me and it could be a LONG year – LOL.
Potato Happenings
Fry Alicia is out pedaling with Covid – decided to take it to the streets, instead of infecting the basement/peloton, since her symptoms are minor. Here’s hoping she’s better soon.
Tri Potato is back out on the Capital Train after a long work week. She’s creeping in on 300 miles.
Chip-N-Dale continues his world tour – today was Blackhead Lighthouse to Finavarra Martello. While CycoTater rode the Tour de Merry Point since it was “almost cool outside” after the last several days.
Bud Spud and MicroChip were out in Charlottesville on the Rivanna River Trail getting in some miles.
Loch Ness Potato continues to add miles to her tour AND beat the rain today.
Potato Chip Rock send the grand kids home after their visit – but managed to get a ride in after the airport run.
In other news – For those tracking, we now have reports of an 83 year old potato who is over the finish line. I never tell someone’s age but when others fess up, I’m happy to share!
Administrivia
With all of this pedaling, our potatoes have totaled 15,444.71 miles. Only 14,555.29 miles left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there. We’re over half way but only 9 days left to ride – can we do it?
Also – potato names have been all accounted for – whew!
