Tour Day 5: Hump Day

Not yet one week into Le Tour de Couch Potato and we’re closing in on 4000 miles. Make this Hump Day a feverish pedal day!

NEW POTATOES who have achieved 100 miles: Fo’Fanna Potato & Sewin’ Spuds. I believe that gives us 4 in 5 days!

Here’s what was happening as we were stomping on those pedals:

Rain or Shine Tater had another early morning spin class! Taught a group of expectant mothers!

Irish Spud was “Gettin’ it done early in the morning!” while Chip-n-Dale toured Alaska for a while today. Did the Creamer’s Field Interval Ride and the Boreal Forest Trail Interval Ride.

Sewin’ Spuds did more indoor miles while checking out Wimbledon and Potato Chip Rock was back riding after two days off for work.

Bud Spud and A-Peeling Esther rode bikes from Lewes Beach to Rehoboth for the
Cottage tour. They report a fun, but very hot, ride while avoiding beach traffic.

As always, an update from the little ol’ Tour de France:

Remco Evenepoel Sails to Victory in the Individual Time Trial (ITT), Stage 5 of the 2025 Tour de France. While Evenepoel was a heavy favorite, Tadej Pogačar was the big surprise with his speedy second— and shift into the yellow jersey.

A very special Thank You to Duchess Potato who was holding down the fort for Le Tour as we had our Grand Depart this year. Normally, we’re a team effort to bring this to you. I was unexpectedly unavailable so she was a Solo Potato – and a phenomenal potato she is!! Now to get my buns on the bike so she isn’t the only one to complete all Le Tours!!

Happy Pedaling,

Madam Tuber
