Days remaining, that is! Yes – six days left to pedal in the 13th edition of Le Tour de Couch Potato. With so few days on the docket, we’re congratulating 4 new potatoes today as they made it official.
Campbell’s Potato Soup is over the finish line with 125.87 miles. Sour Mash Spud is finished with 110.00 miles. Tattie Tater and Tot Louie have both earned magnets, each with 101.00 miles. Tot Louie made it an early ride to beach the heat – and he’s shouting out all those spuds that inspired him. There was even an “All hail Madam Tuber!” in there – blushing.
Potato Happenings
Closing in on that century mark and able to be official, we have 9 potatoes in the 90 mile range. Bumble Spud only has a half mile to go with 99.50 miles so far. Baked Potato is also less than a mile from the finish like with 99.25 miles in. The Potato Monologues and Jungle Spud are both under 5 miles from the finish line with 95.96 miles and 95.10 miles respectively. Pouch Potato is closing in with 94.04 miles pedaled. Pirouette Potato has 92.38 miles down and breathing down her neck is Yam Session with 92.35 miles. I believe I can Fry is almost finished at 91.20 miles while Commissioner Potato is over the 90 mile mark with 90.65 miles done. We should see these potatoes become official in the next couple of days.
With 161 potatoes off the couch, searching for a magnet, the miles will be adding up. We still have our 16 DUD SPUDS who didn’t bother to get off the couch yet – hmmm.
Irri-tater made her way to the Y this morning for an early spin.
Oh-Kay Tuber was out with three other spuds for a ride. It was a “Taters Unite Tour!” Wolfpack Potato, Fry Like an Eagle and Seafaring Spud were along for the ride as well during their annual beach week in SC. Le Tour provided the perfect opportunity for a biking reunion ride, giving them all about 20 miles this morning.
Administrivia
With all of this pedaling, our potatoes have totaled 18,599.56 miles. Only 11,400.44 miles left to meet that “extra challenge” I threw out there. With only 7 pedaling days remaining, it’s not looking good.
Potato Rant – Check the rules – you need to log your miles using the email you registered with. If you don’t, and don’t get credit for your miles, that’s your fault, not ours. End Potato Rant.
