I use the word “pursuit” to send the message that everyone is out there pursuing his or her own journey. It’s not necessarily about racing, it can be about learning, exploring a beautiful part of the country, riding with your friends, challenging yourself, and finding your limits.
The Gravel Pursuit is a fully marked course on 100% US Forest Service roads in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It takes on a little bit of the Tour Divide route, the Great Western Trail, the Continental Divide, and straddles the Montana-Idaho border.
The Pond’s Lodge in Island Park, which has been our race headquarters every year, is definitely backcountry Idaho. It’s a little bit redneck and we love it that way. It’s a little more difficult to get to but so worth it to be off the beaten path.
