RPI 2025 Schedule
Day 1: Harriman Trail | Thursday
35 Mi | 3,505′
A mix of technical single and double track trails in the valley floor beneath the towering
Boulder Mountains. The day finishes with a fun, outdoor podium presentation back in Ketchum.
Day 2: Dollarhide Summit Time Trial | Friday
50 Mi | 3,057′
Our Dollarhide Summit day features a short, 4.5 mile hill climb timed segment within a bigger 50 mile ride from Ketchum and back. Dollarhide features a stunning ride through the Warm Springs Creek river basin on the approach to Dollarhide Summit. It’s a super casual roll at your own pace until you reach mile 20 where we all line up and start in 30 second intervals for our own personal race of truth. After we’re done, many of us gather at the optional Frenchman’s Hot Springs for a dip in the water as we celebrate another day in the books.
Day 3: EXPO + REST DAY + Be Good Ride | Saturday
This is our rest day before the biggest day of them all. Our vendor expo takes place at Atkinson Park in Ketchum, Idaho.
Expect some new shenanigans this year in the form of Idaho’s first ever Potato Olympics, and Skills Competition with LIV and Giant!
Be Good Ride 7:30AM
Expo from 10AM – 5PM
Day 4: THE MAIN EVENT | SUNDAY
It’s the main event of Rebecca’s Private Idaho. In the days leading up to Sunday, there may be a couple hundred participants competing in our multi-day QSR. But on Sunday, we crack 1,000 people on gravel bikes in Sun Valley, Idaho. It is this large scale gravel race day that Rebecca’s Private Idaho was created with, and the grand finale to our weekend together. Sunday features three different route distances to choose from:
Tater Tot | 18.9 Mi | 1,255′
Satisfy your appetite with a side of Tater Tots! Coming in at just under 20 miles, the Tater Tot features the same professional experience as the Baked Potato and French Fry routes in a snack-sized format. Tater Tot riders will enjoy a 50/50 mix of terrain, sandwiching the nice, swoopy gravel and gentle climbs of the classic Corral Creek Road between a smooth pavement start and finish, the perfect introduction to gravel riding!
French Fry | 56 Mi | 3,716′
The Goldilocks course: not too short, not too long, but juuust right for those seeking jaw-dropping views and remoteness. You’ll still earn the bragging rights of the burly Trail Creek Summit climb and cover much of the same terrain (yep, washboards and headwinds, too) as your Baked Potato brothers and sisters without the full commitment.
Baked Potato | 102.9 Mi | 6,228′
The Baked Potato includes the challenging Trail Creek Summit climb before descending into the Big Lost River Basin. Riders loop through Wildhorse Canyon and Copper Basin, surrounded by scenic mountain ranges. Most participants then tackle ‘El Diablito,’ a five-mile diversion, before descending Trail Creek Summit back to Sun Valley. Riders must complete the course within cutoff times to be scored for the
Queen’s Stage Race.
