Idiotarod 2008

author: Peter : Brooklyn, NY

"...The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. The Idiotarodis pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it's people, instead of sleds, it's shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it's New York City..." www.cartsofbrooklyn.com Team Greased Lightning...
