And 7 more potatoes made it official today. We have 81 over the finish line and creeping in on that 100 mark.
Potato Jam crushed that century mark with 112.00 miles which Chili Cheese Fries is just behind her with 111.30 miles. Tater Malla is done with 108.30 miles. How to Train Your Tater and PoKaeTo finished close to each other with 105.98 and 105.30 miles respectively. Tubular Tater has a new magnet with 103.80 miles. Having a great ride (sans the humidity) to get over the line for another magnet is Surfin’ Spud with 100.88 miles. Congratulations to our most recent official taters as we close out this weekend.
Potato Happenings
The weather channel told CycoTater there was an hour before the ran – lies, all lies. She reports a great ride, despite the rain.
Cajun Gator Tater was visiting Panama City Beach with the Tater Tots and new Potato and La Nuova Patata – the later took the Tots to the pool while he got out for his ride.
Mythical Patata was out with Spud Cool as she strives for 400 miles this tour. Spud Cool was the only thing Cool about the ride.
Captain Spud had a Sunday Funday for his longest ride of the year – 36.3 miles. Also reaching a personal best was Potato Chip Rock at 41 miles – he’s looking forward to “hugging” his standing desk tomorrow.
Billy Spud is back to his basement for his daily rides – that’s where I do mine too. Potato Chip ‘n Putt (aka my husband) just set up a fan for me.
As promised, let’s look at those looking for magnets 9, 8, and 7. Starting with those pedaling the most years.
Magnet number 9 has been earned by Tri Potato (280.30 miles), Tubin’ Tuber ( 160.10 miles), Irish Spud (138.80 miles), Mystery Spud (112.30 miles), Spud Luda (110.37 miles), and Spud Funk (104.10 miles). Still pedaling for that 9th magnet are Cajun Gator Tater (83.19 miles), Hot Potato (86.00 miles), Potato Loco (69.00 miles), Potato Cake (62.14 miles), and Sweet Kinder Spud (30.60 miles).
Thirteen potatoes started out this year’s tour looking for their 8th magnet. Uetz Chips (281.00 miles), Loch Ness Potato (188.21 miles), Almighty Spud (138.00 miles), Fo’Fanna Potato (110.00 miles), Loly Pop Potato (108.50 miles), and Salt Life Yam (100.70 miles) already have theirs.

Six potatoes are pedaling for magnet number 7 and four of them already earned it. Mythical Patata (350.01 miles), Backpack Potato (217.00 miles), Drunk Spud (138.00 miles) and Last of the Potatoes (113.31 miles) are all over the finish line. Rain or Shine Tater (64.30 miles) and Pedaler Mc Potato (15.80 miles) are pedaling to get to the century mark for theirs.
WHEW – I hope I didn’t miss anyone. If so, it was unintentional.
Administrivia
With all of this pedaling, our potatoes have totaled 17,677.90 miles. Only 12,322.10 miles left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there. With only 7 pedaling days remaining, it’s not looking good.
