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.

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!

Kristy Fox
Community Relations
Kristy has lived in Steamboat for over 30 years and has no plans to leave anytime soon. Her husband and she have recently sold their fast paced restaurant and are filling their time doing all the activities this little mountain town offers. Her happy place is any adventure with their 3 girls and my 4 legged side kick.
Favorite Post Ride Food/Drink: Chips and guac and a margarita, with salt of course, to replace those electrolytes!
Bucket List Ride/Adventure: Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc through France, Italy and Switzerland.
Megan Harvey
Head of Merchandising
Megan moved to Steamboat in 1997, straight from University of Alabama. She somehow finds a way to love it more and more each year. She has a husband, two daughters, and two dogs and that makes living in Steamboat that much more enjoyable.
Favorite Post Ride Food/Drink: She absolutely loves heading straight to Taco Cabo in Steamboat post ride. The food is great and it’s very conveniently located.
Bucket List Ride/Adventure: She had a trip to Tuscany planned in April 2020. It was a gravel camp with a race at the end of the week. That was and still is her bucket list ride. She knows it will happen!! Hopefully in September!

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.
