Ryan Steers
Director of Marketing
Ryan grew up in Virginia but after graduating from USC in 2007, he’s now officially more Angeleno than Virginian. From one-handing ‘Gram shots at OTR rides and events, to developing and coordinating marketing strategies, this formerly competitive gravel and mountain bike racer now enjoys riding for the SBT GRVL & FNLD GRVL team.

Bucket List Ride: Pedaling my way through Italy and putting down Barolos and black truffles like Maurten gels.
Micah Rice
Race Director
Micah lives in Colorado Springs and joined the SBT GRVL crew in 2021. He moved to Colorado in 2009 to oversee the national events department for USA Cycling and between 2009 and 2017 oversaw over 100 National Championships, several Olympic Trials, and two World Championships for the governing body. Since then, he has been hard at work on other high-profile events such as North American events for Haute Route and the Pikes Peak APEX presented by RockShox. He currently is the Vice President of Event Strategy & Operations for Tourism Strategies and consults on events around the country, but of course his favorite event he works on is SBT GRVL.

Greer Van Dyck
Community Relations Director
Greer was born in Georgia but was built for the mountains and at the age of 20, she hit the road from Athens, Georgia and made her way to Boulder, CO. At the beginning of 2020, she started her own business providing leadership development trainings and coaching for organizations. Community engagement and riding bikes are also two of her greatest passions, and loves how her work with SBT GRVL combines the two so naturally. She loves to trail run, mountain bike, and gravel ride in the warmer months, and backcountry ski through the Winter. She lives in Steamboat Springs, CO with her husband and two pups!

Emily grew up in Michigan as a competitive swimmer, swimming for the University of Michigan through college. After graduating she moved to Chicago, got an office job as a Litigation Paralegal and found her way back to competing—this time in triathlons. She raced professionally for 7 years (while being a swim and triathlon coach) until retiring from racing at the end of 2016. Emily loves to run the trails every day with her three German Shorthaired Pointers, Winston, Rocco and Cyrus, and continues to coach for Tower 26.
