Cool piece in the NYT today about La Ruta de los Conquistadores, a crazy, grueling 3-day race in Costa Rica:

Vermonter Lea Davison is mentioned, with a 30-second video clip that looks like it came from her handlebars.

Cool. A friend of mine did that in 2000. For the longest time, the race was dominated by Costa Ricans, despite attempts by riders like Tinker Juarez and other American hot shots.
