Race organizers for the SBT GRVL ride have set up a Community Command Center for anyone who has questions, issues, or concerns. It’s also for someone who may have witnessed a SBT GRVL rider being disrespectful or unsafe. Here’s Amy Charity with SBT GRVL.

“So if you see somebody who is misbehaving, we have a number to call, and we will be addressing that with the riders. We are really trying to enhance accountability to our riders to ensure that they are upholding the oath that we put out there and really being good stewards of cycling for our entire community.”

That number to call is 720-805-9751. The Community Command Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, Friday, and Saturday, and through 8:30 p.m. on race day, which is this Sunday, Aug. 18. If you have any questions about the Community Command Center, reach out to Greer Van Dyck at greer@sbtgrvl.com.

The Expo on Yampa Street is Friday afternoon and during the day Saturday with over 80 vendors. The SBT GRVL HLL CLMB is Friday evening at Howelsen Hill.
