Rebecca’s Private Idaho

REBECCA’S PRIVATE IDAHO IS A FOUR-DAY, ALL-INCLUSIVE GRAVEL EXPERIENCE.

Since Rebecca Rusch first launched RPI, it has become a bucket-list event for professional and amateur riders alike. Rated a Top Five Gravel Event by Global Cycling Network and one of the 25 Best Bike Rides in the World by Outside Magazine, RPI has been staged every Labor Day weekend since 2013 in Rebecca’s hometown and surrounding backcountry of Sun Valley and Ketchum, Idaho. It delivers a challenge in the middle of America’s rugged and ancient Rocky Mountains.

Rebecca’s Private Idaho takes place over multiple days, offering 19 distinctly different ways to participate!

Choose your own adventure: You can ride or race all three stages of Rebecca’s Private Idaho to compete in the Queen Stage Race, or you can pick and choose which days you participate. New this year, you can also sign up for four variations of QSR based on which route you choose to race on the final day. This mix and match offering means you can pick literally any combination of stages from our event, thereby choosing your own adventure!
