Rebecca’s Private Idaho (RPI) is a long-haul gravel grinder and outdoor festival staged in beautiful Sun Valley, Idaho over Labor Day Weekend. Participants will ride along exceptionally breathtaking gravel roads with their host and champion cyclist, Rebecca Rusch. After the ride, participants and their fans settle in for some good old-fashioned western hospitality in the expo area with music, food, entertainment and the infamous game of Gelände Quaffing.

The Queen’s Stage Race | Four Days. Three Stages.

Experience the smashing climbs, stunning views, and hometown hospitality of Rebecca’s Private Idaho in the best way possible: up and down 196 miles of epic riding. In three timed stages over the course of four days, you’ll fall in love with the raw and varied terrain just as I have.

BAKED POTATO

DISTANCE: 102 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 5,295 feet
TERRAIN: 90% gravel road | 10% paved road

Oh yeah! This is the macdaddy, the original route of Rebecca’s Private Idaho and stunner showcase of our awesome mountain vistas and remote landscape. We start at Festival Meadows in Sun Valley with a neutral rollout as flat-to-rolling pavement gives way to the biggest climb of the day: Trail Creek Summit. Dropping into the Big Lost River Basin you’ll loop through Wildhorse Canyon, where washboard gravel gets your attention before you head toward Copper Basin, a lovely valley of sagebrush and willow-rimmed creeks, hemmed in by the great White Knob and Pioneer mountain ranges – the most beautiful and challenging part of the course. With the Copper Basin loop completed, reverse tracks and head back via an adventurous 5-mi. diversion Rebecca dubbed El Diablito. A ripping 2,000-ft. descent from Trail Creek Summit returns you to civilization in Sun Valley, where your tribe awaits with warm hugs and cold drinks during the Off-The-Wagon Days Celebration at the final Festival Meadows finish arch.

FRENCH FRY

DISTANCE: 56 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 4,386 feet
TERRAIN: 50% (or greater) gravel/road

The Goldilocks course: not too short, not too long–juuust right for those seeking the jaw-dropping views and remote experience of the Baked Potato, without the full commitment. With a Festival Meadows start and finish, 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 & sisters, but watch for a course split and signage around mile 37 and be sure NOT to turn with those Baked Potato riders.

TATER TOT

DISTANCE: 20 miles
ELEVATION GAIN: 1,295 feet
TERRAIN: 50% (or greater) gravel/road

Not quite ready to bite off the full Baked Potato? Satisfy your appetite with a side of Tater Tots instead. 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 trail between a smooth pavement start and finish–the perfect intro to gravel riding.
