And our annual Pleasant Valley Firefighters Ride was the ride of the day. Check out our commentary as it was a BUSY day today.

Spud Luda – Rode Pleasant Valley Fire Fighter Ride to complete my tour!

Disorderly Tater – Yearly ride to support Pleasant Valley Fire department. About 3 miles in, it started to rain. Commander Tater says “I don’t understand, it’s only a 15% chance of rain”. I replied, “Nope, more like 100%.. Gentle rain for the next 5 miles. Then streets wet until the sun came out for the last ten miles. Of course, those last ten miles are the ones with the hills…. Just saying. What a girl will do for ice cream!

Mystery Spud – 11th magnet during the Pleasant Valley Fire Department annual ride. Heavy rain during the early part of the ride for many riders, but I lucked out and missed the rain.

Grape Tater – A flat tire ever the ride early. Looks like it is back to the trainer for me.

Countess Tater – I don’t know what was Hotter: Darth Tater biking in front of me or the temperature 😊

Commissioner Potato – nice ride with 15 minutes of rain.

Sweet Tater Carol – Legs were moving faster today

Fry like an Eagle – A quick ride to the grocery store to get eggs should have put me over the top!

Irish Spud – Hot and steamy morning ride in the Northern Neck of Va.

Mythical Patata – Finished the Erie Canal- Buffalo to Albany!!

Beck-A-Spud – I almost was bitten by a copperhead today on the bike path, but Manntatter saved me.

We’ll start some countdowns on Monday!!
