Gravel Results: Riders Do the Gravel Mash at 2019 Rebecca’s Private Idaho

Every Labor Day weekend since 2013, Rebecca Rusch has invited gravel enthusiasts to eastern Idaho for a tour of the gravel roads near her home. A private tour of sorts with a living legend, Rusch calls the event Rebecca’s Private Idaho.

RPI is based in Sun Valley, located near Ketchum, and features a variety of events for gravel riders of all levels.

The marquee event at RPI is the three-day Queen’s Stage Race. This year’s Queen’s Stage Race featured a 43-mile stage on Thursday, hill climb TT on Friday and 100-mile finale on Sunday. The Stage Race is scored as points-based omnium, with 500 points awarded for a stage win and points decreasing by 1 for each place (i.e. 499 for 2nd, 498 for 3rd, etc.)

Riders interested in riding just on Sunday had the option of doing the 100-mile Baked Potato, 56-mile French Fry or 20-mile Tater Tot.

Festivities at RPI are not limited to the gravel riding. Rusch hosted a group ride on Saturday, the event raises money for the Be Good Foundation and Sunday’s Off the Wagon Days Party concludes with the Gelande Quaffing contest.

See below for results from the three-day Queen’s Stage Race.

Queen’s Stage Race Results

The star of the weekend for the Open Women was Kaysee Armstrong (Giant Factory Off-Road Team), who swept all three races to take the win with a perfect score of 1500. Sarah Max (Argonaut) finished second each day to take second overall, and Elizabeth McCalley (Stroke Signal Squad) took third overall after finishing third on Thursday and placing in the top six each stage.

Nicole Presspitch (Point S Auto p/b Nokian Tyres) finished fourth and Erin Green rounded out the wide-angle podium in fifth.

The Open Men’s race came down to a tie-breaker with Ketchum native Josh Berry (Giant Factory Off-Road Team) tying with Stephen Mull with 1495 points. Berry’s total time of 8:10 gave him the overall win, with Mull finishing with a time of 8:17.

Tristan Uhl (Giant Factory Off-Road Team) took third overall, and Colin Strickland (Meteor x Giordana x Allied) and David Wiens (Topeak Ergon Canyon) completed the top five.

Berry won Stage 1, while Strickland bounced back to win the time trial and Stage 3. But for a ninth-place finish on Stage 1, Strickland may have finished higher up the results sheet.
