“Steamboat Gravel in the cycling industry is one of the most internationally renowned and respected events. It’s a big deal for us to have this in our community. There’s so much positive contribution that the event brings to our town.”
There is an Expo on Yampa Street on that Friday and Saturday. Any local businesses are invited to participate for a discount. Apply through the SBT GRVL website, under the Partners tab and Expo Participants. Expo Information
New this year will be a hill climb, starting at the base of Steamboat Resort, in conjunction with their Friday night concert. Cyclists will dress in costume and tackle the switchbacks. Registration for the hill climb opens up in March. (The Hill Climb is no longer at Howelsen Hill.)
