Description of the podcast: “We hit the road, 13 hours of it from Denver to beautiful Ketchum, Idaho. We make the trip for Rebecca Rusch’s 2nd annual riding of Rebecca’s Private Idaho, a gravel grinder race in the amazing Sun Valley. This show is a compilation of some of the most interesting and unique participants in the weekend’s festivities. The ride was great but learning more about the town, the people, and the causes was what really made it so cool. Rebecca even has a cameo at the end of the show. Enjoy this, the first ever event review on the Athlete On Fire show!
Full Disclosure: Ben and I were comped a room for 2 nights in Ketchum to come and ride. That’s it though. I just had such a good time and met so many interesting people that I thought it would make for a cool episode. As an event director, I think Rebecca and her awesome team will appreciate hearing from some of the participants! Enjoy.”
