The course

The route

The flagship Baked Potato covers 100 miles (161km) with around 8,500 feet (2,590m) of sustained climbing at altitude, out of Ketchum into the surrounding Rockies. Fully Loaded adds distance, French Fry and Tater Tot shorten it, and a multi-day Queen's Stage Race stacks several days back to back.

Intervals.icu

Sustained vert, thin air, remote miles

Typical sessions

Long, sustained backcountry climbs stacked through the day, not short punchy rollers.

Thin air at altitude that cuts your power on the high passes.

Long remote sections between support that demand full self-reliance.

A 6 to 10+ hour day, or several for the Queen's Stage Race, that lives or dies on fuelling.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Progressive sustained-climb long rides, building from 3 hours toward a 6 to 7 hour peak with real vert.

Sustained climb repeats: 3 to 5 x 20 to 45 minutes at climbing tempo or threshold.

An event-simulation long ride at race effort with your full fuelling plan rehearsed.

Altitude or heat exposure plus self-sufficiency rides carrying all your own food, fluid and spares.
