Kickin’ Off Week 2

Almost hit 7000 miles after 8 days of riding and we have 132 potatoes off the couch.

Holy Smokes – 8 New Magnets today!! Nashed Potato, The BENched Potato, You Be Yameen, CycoTater, Irish Spud, Tracie Tots, and Buck-A-Spud all finished up today. The 8th potato finishing was Duchess Potato, earning magnet number 15, and finishing every LTdCP!!

Lots of potato happenings to kick off our second week:

Chip-n-Dale enjoyed a San Martin de los Andes Tempo Ride this morning.

Tattie Tater reports “I achieved my best indoor distance ride today. Peddling to leave the past behind me!”

CherylR had a rough ride – but a ride nonetheless (OH NO – where is the potato name here, Madam Tuber better get with it!)

Betty Crocker Tater rode with Russet Rhodes for 17 miles on and around the Suffolk Seaboard Coastal Trail. It was a beautiful ride!

CycoTater had a steam bath of a ride.

Nashed Potato broke the 100 mile mark today, in honor of the women’s Giro d’Italia finishing up this weekend.

You Be Yameen checks in with “A wonderful with Dave, Jessica and Julie. Toni rode with the speedy Gonzalez pace group. I’m thinking they most likely rode a 18 mph pace.”

Yam Mears rode the neighborhood for more miles!!!

Christmas Potato biked to Ruby’s Bagel Shop

A-Peeling Esther biked through Henlopen State Park on the Junction-Breakwater Trail before Bud Spud and Micro Chip headed home to Maryland! Great ride with great friends!

Yam Kronen tells us “On my way to my happy place, the beach, I hugged a tiny house.”

Irish Spud gets another magnet for the beer fridge! 

Our little nugget from that “other” ride (the little ol’ Tour de France):

Italian rider Jonathan Milan timed his attack perfectly to win the eighth stage of the Tour de France in a sprint finish, overtaking Australian Kaden Groves on his left and holding off Belgian rider Wout van Aert by about half a bike length. Defending champion Tadej Pogačar kept the yellow jersey after finishing in the main pack.
