Third pedal day for Potatoes

Weather didn’t hold back the intrepid spuds as they crested the 2000 total mile mark on Day 3 of Le Tour de Couch Potato.

For Chili Cheese Fries & CycoTater, rain was the theme for today’s pedal – with CCF taking it indoors & CT making it through a #soaker. Grape Tater passed along this gem to other early morning riders “Lesson of the Day: The batteries in your bike lights should be charged regularly, even if you have not used them since the last Tour!!” In other news – there is a little ride going on in France and we snatched a quick highlight for those not tuned in:

Stage 3 of the 2025 Tour de France featured a gruesome crash by one Belgian cyclist and came down to a massive sprint to the finish line won by one of his countrymen. Tim Merlier edged out Italian Jonathan Milan to win Monday’s stage.

Some tour stats for those who love the numbers:

Of the 205 “Couchies” registered, 94 of you have logged your first ride for a total tour mileage exceeding 2000 miles (2156 to be exact). Congratulations to all.

    1. Hi Cindy – we started a couple years ago automatically signing folks up who completed the previous years tour – like yourself. You are already registered – check back a couple emails ago – the password to enter miles was shared. Email letourdecouchpotato@gmail.com if you need us to re-send (or check with a friend rider?)
