We’re OVER 8000 miles after 9 days of riding and we have 138 potatoes off the couch.
THREE more magnets earned today: Yamurai, Toni the Spud, and Bud Spud all crossed the century mark.
Here’s what you’re telling us about your adventures:
Manntater – Went on a bike ride this morning with the crew 
Potato Prez – Zwifty. Hoping to get back on the bike outside this week after crash 1 week before tour. – Oh no, a mashed potato before we even started. Don’t worry – you got this!!
Spud Cool – Started outside but to avoid becoming a baked potato retreated indoors. And then it rained – double bonus!
La Nuova Patata – Nice steamy ride in the county-new knee was happy!
New Potato – The rain gods teased us for the first hour or so, indicating they might let loose. But after an hour or so, they smiled on us and left us to finish our ride. Probably went to go bother someone else. 😉
Tater Swift – Two flats none were mine.
Kartoffel Kaiser – Pleasant early morning ride in bike-friendly Davidson, NC with iced latte trophies!
As for the boys in France:
Belgian sprinter Tim Merlier won the ninth stage in a mass sprint after Mathieu van der Poel spent the whole day at the front before being caught less than a kilometer from the finish. There was no significant change in the overall standings and three-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar kept the race leader’s yellow jersey.
