What to expect at RPI 2022 + ten-year anniversary gallery
We are so excited about the tenth anniversary of Rebecca's Private Idaho! This post contains a lot of details for riders who are participating in the event (you can always see the current schedule on the RPI website), and below that is a celebratory photo gallery of the last ten years of RPI. If you’ve been to RPI before, you may just see yourself featured!
If you'll be at RPI this year, get ready to ride hard, laugh often, and bond with so many amazing people from all over the world. There truly is nothing like Rebecca's Private Idaho, and it's because of all of the incredible humans who choose to ride with us every year. So thank you, and let’s get ready to ride #gravelforgood!
