I think y’all did this because its Day 12 and you know I love numbers. Yep, today is day 12 of our Couch Potato and we have a whoppin’ 12 potatoes who made it official today. Buckle up – here we go!
Chip Champ finished with 113.68 miles and a cooler ride by the shore – Cape Henlopen, Delaware. StarchTrek is also over the century mark with 111.35 miles – here comes the magnet. LowTato pedaled for 107.5 miles to earn a new magnet and some bragging rights. Got Tot? is not too far behind and also over the finish line with 106.4 miles. TriSpud stomped on those pedals for 105.12 miles, finishing up the century today. Countess Tater is reporting in 104.5 miles to beat Darth Tater to the finish line. Tot Louie headed out at 6:30 this morning to try to beat the heat and humidity of Coastal Virginia. 104.2 miles into his tour: Hooray-Hooray! Earned my Potato Magnet Today! Couldn’t start until July 3, now finished – earliest ever for me! Sinful Spud is done with a not so sinful 103.9 miles. Give Tom Tater a magnet for 101.31 miles pedaled. Golly D Tater and Christmas Potato are both finished with 100.7 miles. Think they pedaled together? And Bumble Spud is also finished with 100.3 miles. Multiple neighborhood and local strip mall loops. Kinda boring but beats a day in the office
