We had an additional nine potatoes finish up so far today, bringing our total so far to 134 over the century mark. We’re at 22,813.2 miles pedaled with 23 still on the road. How many DUD SPUDS are we going to have this year? 57 aren’t off the couch and they would need to pedal 100 miles in under 6 hours.
As we finish up, remember you have until midnight Eastern time tonight to pedal. All miles need to be submitted by midnight tomorrow night (7/27). Please use the link below to check your mileage in the event something didn’t get entered correctly.
Those finishing so far today are: I Do Potato racked up 113.9 miles for a magnet. Kartoffel Kaiser is in with 103.7 miles. Jeannie-in-a-Tater with 101.3 miles crossed a few pedal strokes ahead of Lenko Latkes who has 101.2 miles. Then we hit a mini-peloton: Kato Potato pedaled 100.6 miles, right behind here were Hot Potato and Home Fries, both with 100.5 miles, then we find Pommes Soufflees with 100.4 miles, and finally Tuberski who rode 100.1 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: As of this post, we have 23 potatoes who got off the couch but didn’t finish yet. Four of those are less than 14 miles from the finish. Southern Fried Spud – 98.4 miles, Racing Spud – 94.0 miles, Ain’t No Tater High Enough – 89.1 miles, and Superwoman Spud – 87.9 miles. You got this – don’t come this far just to fall short.
Our final ride report will be published by Wednesday, July 29th. A huge thank you to all of you for joining our little piece of insanity. You normally hear from me (Madam Tuber) daily but I couldn’t do it without my partner in crime – Duchess Potato. A reminder for next year – we will pre-register only those who pedaled this year.
