Eight Months until we Depart

Time flies when you’re having fun, and it seems like just yesterday we were nine months away from the spectacle that is Le Tour de Couch Potato. But lo and behold, we are now a mere eight months away from the grand depart on June 29, 2024! The excitement is palpable, and the anticipation is building.

As the leaves continue to fall and the air gets crisper, our couch-dwelling compatriots are starting to feel the pressure. The transition from summer slouching to fall floundering is well underway, and the reality of the upcoming challenge is starting to sink in. Will they rise to the occasion, or will they be left in the dust?

The countdown is on, and the training (or lack thereof) has begun in earnest. Our potatoes are allowing dust to gather on their bicycles, letting their tires go flat, and maybe even taking a leisurely ride around the TV channels. Because let’s not kid ourselves – this is Le Tour de Couch Potato, and the emphasis is firmly on the “couch” rather than the “tour.”

When June approaches, may you find the strength to peel yourselves off the sofa, the courage to face the open road, and the determination to make it to the finish line. Here’s to eight more months of eager anticipation, and, of course, plenty of couch time!
