Today, we’re diving into one of the most exciting events in the gravel cycling world and an event that has been pivotal to ABOB programming and growth: SBT GRVL. Held in the stunning landscape of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, SBT GRVL is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, inclusivity, and the joy of cycling. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or new to gravel, SBT GRVL offers something for everyone, with routes that challenge the pros and welcome newcomers alike. The event has quickly become a must-do in the gravel calendar, not just for the epic terrain but for the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every rider feel like they belong.
Joining us today are the Race Director Amy Charity and Greer Van Dyck, the Director of Community Relations, who will share insights into what makes SBT GRVL so special and how they’re working to ensure that everyone, regardless of background or ability, has a place at the start line.

Amy raced all over the world and at the highest level of the sport. She was a member of the US National Team, holds a national title in the Team Time Trial and raced in the World Championships.
