Week One is Done!

And we’re welcoming four more official potatoes to the over the line club.

Tuberville was out with a group searching for other potatoes and found not only ice cream but a magnet (125.73 miles). Almighty Spud and Drunk Spud are both over the finish line again, earning another magnet again with 108.0 miles. Spud Funk also wrapped it up today, across the century mark with 102.8 miles. Congrats go out to all our newest official taters. That brings our total finishers to 17 so far.

We’re keeping an eye on that “30 or less to go” group for our next group of finishers. I suspect it will come from this crew: Fry Alicia, Winning Spud, Sewin’ Spuds, Loch Ness Potato, CycoTater, Potato Chip Rock, Yogatato, Fry Like an Eagle, Spudding Genius, Tracie Tots, Oh-Kay-Tuber, Ain’t No Tater High Enough, and Hash Slinger. We should see them earn their magnets soon.

Potato Happenings

Telling us about their expeditions in Potato Happenings today are:

Darth Tater A big pine tree fell across the neighborhood street over night so I flagged down a car and he and dragged the tree to the side of the road. Two workouts in one! Potato Lane did more miles in the mountains of Maryland! Chip-n-Dale rode Spring Creek Trail and East Canyon Reservoir rides through Park City, Utah.

Harley Taterson found a field of sunflowers as a backdrop to this hot sunny day on the Eastern Shore of MD. CycoTater got out for a ride this morning before it gets wicked hot. Now I’m only a par-boiled tater…

Oh-Kay Tuber Spuds unite in the OBX! MelaTater First ride ever on a Peleton. Tom Tater Ride for breakfast @ Joey Bag Of Donuts (yum – more donuts. I think I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow after my ride).

I hear that yesterday, Buck A Spud, Pump up the Yam and Tuberville went to College Farm Station near Wmsburg VA to get ice cream while looking for You Be YAmeen , Toni the Spud , Holy Potato , Milby Crisp and D’YAmeen. They didn’t have any potato skins to pay for their purchase so they got creamed. 

Salt Life Yam summed it up for all of us with “Hot! Hot! Hot!”

We may have our first mashed potato with a report of Casey at the Bat Potato falling off the bike at mile 10. Hoping all is well and Casey can continue.
