Recapping our annual pilgrimage to the Rasputitsa Gravel Grinder in Vermont

Vermont has an entirely different style of gravel racing than the rest of the USA, the name of the game is shorter miles, higher elevation, and gnarlier terrain. The Vermont Overland is no exception, 59 miles, 7,500 ft of climbing, and 8 class 4 sectors (a road that is not maintained by the town or state and can be in various states of disrepair).

Good things come to those who wait, and after a month of recovery and off-season fun, Alvaro is back with his recap from the biggest and baddest race of them all: GMSR

The Green Mountain Stage Race is one of the toughest events on the East Coast with four days of hard fought racing in Vermont over Labor Day weekend. In part 1 of our recap of the 2019 edition, we give the most honest race reports possible, straight from TBD Slack.

Earlier this year we were one of the first teams to put Garneau’s newly launched Groad collection through its paces at Rasputitsa. Some of our initial impressions from the dirt roads of Vemont and New Hampshire follow.

Rasputitsa is unlike just about any other race on our calendar. Cullen recaps his experience finding happiness in ‘failure’ at the 2019 edition.

If Rasputitsa wasn’t legendary already, it will be after this weekend. This year’s edition—a 41-mile epic in the rain and snow, featuring 4,727 feet of climbing on Vermont’s soggy dirt roads—was one for the ages.

One of our favorite weekend’s of the entire year is here: Rasputitsa
