The rider guide is here

This September 9th will kick off the 14th year of something that started in the cauldron of the gravel big bang, at which time cosmic events were born: Unbound, Mid South, Gravel Worlds, Tushar in the Crusher, and others. Every one of them taking on a unique life that imposed its mass in different ways. Taking a step back and looking at these different experiences feels like being an astronomer, but in a universe where you can actually visit the stars (and even book a cozy hotel room nearby).

We are like a main-sequence star, with a gleaming Goldilocks zone that casts a warm glow on everyone who visits, one that will stick with you for a long time to come. With that context, welcome to Rebecca's Private Idaho, and Sun Valley, which is at the center of this place. It's all waiting for you here: the breathtaking mountains, the hospitality, fine dining, and local brews. All you have to do is just get in your ship and go.

For those of you about to experience Rebecca's Private Idaho, we've got some structural details for you so that your landing is smooth. They are within our newly published rider guide, so read on and arrive informed. We look forward to hosting you.

Sincerely,
The cast and crew of RPI and Bike Monkey.
