Following up on Rasputitsa: Is it a race or is it a ride? we have one final selection of images from the 2018 edition of Rasputitsa by Daghan Perker who recently announced his first photo book: American Cyclocross (available to order now!). While Daghan's camera took a tumble and didn't survive the weekend thankfully we have a few photographs to remember a pretty terrific few days in the Vermont countryside.
