Community gravel at its finest

The Teton Valley Backyard Rally We've been thinking about this for over a decade. An event that is literally in our backyard. (The start is four blocks from our house!)  The Teton Valley Backyard Rally on July 6 is a community-focused gravel event on the west side of the Tetons in Victor, Idaho. There's an option for everyone in the family, with 25, 60, and 100 mile routes as well as free kick bike and pedal bike races for the kids. The 25-mile route is e-bike friendly. This event benefits local nonprofits that are doing awesome things for the bike community.  We want to share and invite folks to a place we are lucky to call home. While here, we also want people to enjoy the other things the valley has to offer. Whether it be floating and/or fishing on the river that runs down the center of it, mountain biking the family-friendly trails on the south end, relaxing at a shady camp spot, or hiking in Grand Teton National Park...the options are endless. And of course we want you to visit our restaurants, breweries, coffee houses, and shops. Come for the ride, but stay for the mountain lifestyle! REGISTER NOW
