This week we get the chance to hear from off-road cycling legend Rebecca Rusch. A lifelong athlete, Rebecca started her professional athletic career in adventure racing, running and rock climbing, and didn’t start racing bikes until she was 38. She describes the events that lead her to pursue professional mountain biking (even though she wasn’t the best rider at the time), and why it is so important to her to bring other women into the sport. Rebecca won Unbound Gravel in 2012. She describes how that event opened up the world of gravel cycling to her and inspired her to start her own gravel event. 

Rebecca’s Private Idaho takes place on Labour Day weekend in her home town of Ketchum, Idaho. You can register for the event at https://www.rebeccasprivateidaho.com/  and use the code Girl$GGravel for 20% off your entry.
