Pedaling Ends at Midnight

Thanks to Loch Ness Potato for our image today of several potatoes on their last ride of this year’s tour!

The boys in France are done and the awards have been given. But don’t worry if you’re not done. We have until midnight ET tonight to pedal. We did have 8 more potatoes make it official so far today.

I believe I can Fry and Hashed Healy crossed the finish line together, each with 104.40 miles. Potato Cake was not too far behind for her magnet with 103.10 miles.

DrewTuber will NOT get harassed for the next year at work. He stomped on those pedals a lot over the last few days to finish with 101.10 miles. Only a tenth o fa mile behind him was Sweet Kinder Spud 101.00 miles, earning herself another magnet.

Rocky Potato had a hard fought, mountainous 100.80 miles to earn his new magnet.

Pirouette Potato (100.38 miles) and Spuddy Holly (100.29 miles) cracked the finish line by less than a mile – but done is done!

Congratulations to our latest finishers.

That brings our total official taters to 140 with only a few hours left to pedal. Please remember all miles MUST be entered by 5:00 PM ET tomorrow so we can wrap everything up. We will have a blog post Monday evening and the Tour wrap up coming out on Wednesday, July 26th. We will work to get the Hall of Fame updated by Wednesday as well. If you haven’t seen it – check it out here –> H.O.F.

We’re sitting at 25,056.48 total miles for this year’s Couch Potato.

Potato Happenings

Still pedaling and under 20 miles to go. You still have a few hours to get it done:

Fry Fry Baby – 3.70 miles left

Hurray Potato – 4.11 miles to go

Bubba Spud – 5.00 miles remaining

Spudzilla – 8.17 miles to pedal

Home Fries – 15.00 miles for a magnet

Dre’ Tater – 17 miles to finish

On the Captain Spud / Laura Latkes challenge – reports indicate the challenge was for Laura Latkes to get to 165.0 miles She has risen to his challenge (165 miles) with a torn meniscus so had to spin all of it – at least she was able to watch TV while doing it!

Potato Jam pedaled over 2 Frederick Bridges on her way to Subway for lunch while Tom Tater finished with a trip to Joey Bag of Donuts! Spudly Beach Bum was in on the groceries as well with croissants and coffee.

Several potatoes made their own personal goals this year as well. We mentioned Touring Tater getting to her goal of 45 miles yesterday. Disorderly Tater met her personal goal as well – more miles than last year.

We are definitely going to have some DUD SPUDS this year. We’ll have to wait for tomorrow’s report to find out how many.

Administrivia

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for playing our game with us this year. We do it for fun each year – and hope you have fun as well. We do see your notes thanking us for putting this together and you’re very welcome! Please come and join us again next year. Remember to follow our blog – that’s how we notify you of registration, etc. Tell your friends so we can continue to grow.

One special note from me, I often type “we”, “us”, etc. My sister (Duchess Potato) is in the background doing the majority of the leg work to compile miles, comments, etc. each day. Her husband does the artwork for the magnets each year as well. While it’s my (potato) name you see on the blog post, I couldn’t do this without her – thanks, Chris!

Happy Pedaling,
