It turns out that the friend was mistaken, the only gravel on this route is the parking lot at the top, hehe. The whole road is paved, but beware of the pebbles and sand on the switchbacks. A popular loop that I and my cycling buddy do all the time is to go to Inkom via Buckskin Road then come back to Pocatello via highway 91. You could do this in reverse if you start on Rapid Creek Road. The only traffic you'll encounter is on highway 91, but the drivers are very courteous on that road due to it being a popular cycling route. Oops, looks like I need to edit this article.

Also, I'm bored with riding around Idaho Falls and have some friends that live up Rapid Creek road and was looking for a loop that included Buckskin Road. How could you do a loop that kept you out of traffic? So how far is it from the main road before it turns to gravel?

I take everything I need and lots of stuff I don't on every ride just because I've got the room for it. I love my basket.

However, my commuter bike has a road racing frame, so it doesn't have mounts for rear racks. Notice the seat-post mounted rear rack. Yeah, someday I'll get a better commuter bike, but this one works fine for now. :-p I wouldn't put a basket on a seat-mounted rack because it would be impossible to lift your leg that high to get on the bike.

Plus you can keep your center of gravity lower. I’m still a big fan of the back rack because it doesn’t add weight to your steering. Plus you can keep your center of gravity lower.

Hope I'll get these injuries sorted out quickly so I can go check it out this spring/summer! Sounds like an area ripe for exploration.
