Day 5 & 5 more Official Taters

That’s right – five more of you rockin’ spuds crossed the finish line today. Magnets all around! You be YAmeen was out riding with other potato heads that have become friends (that’s what we like to hear) and reached 118.02 miles. Marshmallow Fluff Potato is also finished for another magnet with 106.3 miles. As reported yesterday,  Chip-n-Dale road Flagstaff Road climb to amphitheater in Boulder this morning and he’s finished (yesterday/today, doesn’t matter – it’s the magnet that matters) – 101.08 miles. Surfin’ Spud and Fo’Fanna Potato hit the finish line exactly today with 100.0 miles. Congratulations to all of our finishers so far – seven in total.

Potato Happenings

Also out there pedaling away are Loch Ness Potato, Tuberville, Yes Ma’am Yam, Backpack Potato, and Mythical Patata – this is our group with less than 30 miles to go. Maybe they’ll all POP off the last of their miles in celebration of the United States’ birthday tomorrow.

Buck-A-Spud had a great ride with cycling group that included Tuberville, Holy Potato, and You Be YAmeen! Harley Taterson was out for another beautiful day near the Chesapeake Bay on Maryland back country roads! CFNo Spud is looking for a name change – should be Potato String b/c I’m handing on to Tri Spud by a thread. Artful Tuber realized that I entered my birthday, not the ride date yesterday. Spuddles is thankful for the rails to trails right in my neighborhood. Beautiful ride today. We even saw a wild Turkey!

Keep those pedals pumping and the tales coming. I am pedaling away on my stationary bike so I’m vicarious through all of you! If you’re still on the couch, hop up and pedal before enjoying fireworks tomorrow. If we enjoy potato salad with our BBQ , is that considered cannibalism? Inquiring minds want to know.
