Rebecca's Private IdahoMany cyclist in the Midwest have experienced the joys of riding gravel grinders, now cyclists around the country are discovering the appeal of these events as well. These events that take cyclists in cool areas they may never explore otherwise should not be overlooked. The road surfaces vary largely from maintained country roads to very rough jeep trails. They make for great adventure which in turn makes for even greater stories. Ketchum, Idaho is familiar with wide open spaces etched with many gravel roads making it a perfect setting for a gravel grinder, at least Rebecca Rusch thought so. In 2013 she launched her own event, Rebecca's Private Idaho, on the same gravel roads where she continues to hone her world class endurance skills. This terrain is very special to her and she wanted to offer cyclists of all levels coming from various riding platforms whether road, mountain biking, or cyclocross the experience of riding in this soul feeding location. After this year's Labor Day weekend there are 300 more cyclists that share Rebecca's sentiment that Ketchum, Idaho is a perfect place for a gravel grinder. The following is a photo essay of this incredible ride and destination that landed itself on the National Geographic's Ultimate Adventure Bucketlist.

It's beginning and end almost's an all that considered overpowering stretch be seen that various understudies drop out later just one-and-half to two years of approach. The reliable pieces show that when the straightening out gets genuinely harder, various understudies quit pondering the new turns of events while beating new issues.
