At least they didn’t schedule it against a Lifetime event…

Will be cool for the American champ to be able to wear the national champs jersey for the LTGP etc.

Seems like a good prize purse for a championship race too

Well we won’t be seeing folks who want to contend here at Rebecca’s Private Idaho this year.

They couldn’t get this on the schedule earlier because why?

Seems weird to announce it this close. Wondering how many pros will need to adjust their race schedule.

My grandparents lived just north of this area. The landscape is hauntingly beautiful. But it is also very off the grid. Not much quinoa or espresso bars to be found. But you just might see some real life bison.

I think it’s kind of neat in a way how gravel racing has made flyover country into a cycling a destination with a number of popular races in the Midwest

I live a few hours north of there (Rapid City, SD) and have done the big gravel race/ride they do there in June. It is simply fantastic to ride this area. Amenities are somewhat austere, but the terrain is so rad. Good for them!
