Finishing today!

SEVEN more potatoes crossed the finish line today – just in the nick of time: Tuberville, Spudnik, Rick Taterchip, Potato HopSkins, Bubba Spud, Salt Life Yam, Lenko Latkes.

Potatoes got off the couch in a big way to close out the 15th annual Tour de Couch Potato 2025 – let’s hear directly from them:

Seitz and Sounds Spud – Tri-county ride: Carroll, Baltimore and Howard Counties- basically the Pyrenees.

CycoTater – Steamy but great final ride of the 2025 Tour with the hubs:)

Salt Life Yam – Done and ready to own my magnet! Thanks very much to Madame Tuber and her stalwart team! Best again and so well done and organized! I appreciate getting off the couch on the hottest days of the year….

Potato Chip Rock – Made it past 300 miles. Thank you Madame Tuber for hosting such as fun challenge

Chip-n-Dale – Mirror Lake HIIT Ride in Thailand.

Lenko Latkes – By the skin of my teeth, now off to drop my favorite daughter at camp.

Unknown Potato – I appreciated the opportunity to this another year – #11!

Fat Tire Tater – It was hot!!

Spudnik – Just in the nick of time, but got it in!!

Marshmallow Fluff Potato – great riding with everyone:} viva le tour:]

Here’s where we are from a numbers perspective, as of now: We’ve pedaled 21,767.07 miles with just over 8,200 to hit 30,000 (not going to make it!). There are 132 of us that crossed the finish line, earning magnets. 28 other potatoes got off the couch – we’ll see which of them finish today. 43 other potatoes signed up but didn’t pedal – DUD SPUDS!

Crazy finish to Tour de France in Paris:

Tadej Pogacar closed out a supreme 21-day performance to win the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday, July 27, crushing his rivals in the 3,400 km slog to rack up a fourth title. Wout van Aert won the final-day cliffhanger on the cobbled roads of Montmartre, but Pogacar was spared any late challenge when rain forced times to be neutralized to avoid potential accidents. Pogacar gamely tried for the stage win anyway before Belgian Van Aert pulled away from the Slovenian on the last climb. The winner was clearly enjoying himself as he played to the delighted crowds, racing to the head of the peloton near the Moulin Rouge cabaret at the foot of the climb.
