Rasputitsa Mud Race



Despite the fact that Vermont is right in his backyard (at least according to Sarah Palin), rumor has it that Vladimir Putin has wussed out to riding in this year’s Rasputitsa race. However, there are unconfirmed reports that the boss of the Iron Curtain is sending Olga Korbut in his stead. Possible ? According to Al Gore, who by the way invented the race, there have been numerous sightings of Russian drones seen over the North East Kingdom skyline. :mellow: Also, watch out for a rider named Yuri.
