Lots of pedaling going on mid-week. Nine potatoes crossed the finish today to earn their magnets. While we’re not likely to hit the 30K mileage mark, 25K is not out of the realm of possibility – as of now we’re at 19,005.2 miles. We’re up to 94 official couch potatoes – will we surpass 100 tomorrow? There are 62 still pedaling toward the century mark, and 59 who have yet to make it off the couch.
Today’s finishers are: 50 in 50 Potato wrapped it up today with 109.2 miles while Tater Swift is also over the line with 104.5 miles. A magnet is also going to Star-Spudded for her 103.8 miles. Bud Spud finished up with 102.3 miles followed closely by Here Comes the Spud at 102.1 miles. Finishing in a cluster are Microchip (101.1 miles), Mann, I feel like a Potato (101.0 miles), and Winning Spud (101.0 miles). Jungle Spud crossed the century mark with 100.4 miles. Be sure to check out the Hall of Fame to see how many magnets our potatoes have earned: Hall of Fame
Pedaling by the numbers: In this last week, we’ll focus on those on the road – and watch these numbers shrink as magnets are earned. Check out the stats (link below) to see all the specifics. For those off the couch and looking for the finish line:
We are up to 12 potatoes in the 90s with 10 miles or less to go.
The 80s show us 8 taters, looking to finish in the next couple of days.
With between 20 and 30 miles to go, we have 10 spuds in the 70s.
We have a small group in the 60s – 4 potatoes who will be done with a couple of good rides.
There are 9 spuds in the 50s – you did half of it so far, let’s do this!
Only 2 potatoes in the 40s. They have a few longer rides in front of them but again, totally doable.
The group in the 30s has 5 pedaling to the finish.
The 11 potatoes who are off the couch but less than 30 miles will be looking for a couple long rides over the weekend to earn their magnet. Let’s cheer all these pedaling potatoes on to the finish line.
A couple of mishaps today but no Mashed Potatoes – Here’s what y’all had to say about your rides:
Kartoffel Kaiser-One more ride should do it—so excited for magnet 11 
Chip-n-Dale-Coconut Grove Endurance Ride in Tahiti.
Kathryn-the-Great Tater-We intended to ride much further but a bulging tire cut the trip short. However, the tire is now fixed and we hope to log a few more miles before the challenge ends.
Mac Tattie-Back on the Power Zone training with a new ftp !
Phrier Phil-Good ride today with milder temperatures today. We did have the tater tots scared out of us when we rounded a corner and almost “smashed” into a barking dog. We were happy he was on a leash!
Tuber or Not Tuber-It turned into a half baked ride when my rear tire bulged out as though it developed a hernia. Definitely a sour (cream) mishap. Got it fixed and looking forward to our next full baked ride soon.
