Our second Saturday is always a HUGE pedal day and today did not disappoint. Along with a bunch of pedaled miles, we had 9 more potatoes make it official today and we’re over half way to our 30,000 mile goal.
Leading the way over the finish line is Nashed Potato with 123.7 miles. Swisher Sweet Potato also has a new magnet for the fridge with 112.0 miles. Mystery Spud has 111.3 miles and a shout out “No story, but I appreciate you managing this. This will be my 10th magnet. And thanks to Spud Luda who told me about this 10 years ago.” Milby Crisps is past the century mark as well with 109.1 miles.
Spud Lass had an eventful day to earn a magnet. With 105.5 miles, experiencing torrential downpours here in southeastern Virginia I was not able to ride outside so I hopped on my trainer and rode with the leaders and did the first part of Stage 14 virtually! Even though it took me a “bit” longer to go the same distance, I was able to complete my mileage and cross Le Tour De Couch Potato finish line. Mission accomplished! I’m sure “French fries” will be on the menu of tonight’s celebratory dinner!
Madam Tuber is done with 105.0 miles – number 14 in the books – my perfect record remains. Now I need the Duchess to join me. Chili Cheese Fries crossed the line at spin class this morning with 104.5 miles! Loly Pop Potato is happy to report in 101.6 miles for another magnet. Tuber Sox Fan earned her magnet with 100.07 miles on a ride with fellow tour riders Uetz Chips and Dre Tater.
