SBT Junior Scholarship Recipients
This year, SBT GRVL launched a Junior Scholarship Program to support young athletes who want to compete in Steamboat Springs but may not otherwise have the means to do so. SBT GRVL is proud to announce the selection of 24 junior athletes for its 2026 Junior Scholarship Program.
Thanks to generous financial support from Storied Places, Town Hall, Steamboat Social Club, and an anonymous donor, the scholarship program was expanded from 6 to 24 athletes.
Maddie Torres
Hi, I’m Maddie Torres, a 14 year old from Vail, Arizona. I’ve been racing mountain bikes for two years and gravel bikes for one. In 2025, I earned the AZ GRVL Series U29 Champion title. I’m excited to compete in beautiful Colorado, challenging myself against stronger fields and take on longer distances. I love being outdoor spending time with my family and growing in my faith. I also hope to inspire more young girls to get into cycling and experience the joy of the sport.

Schuler Bailey
My name is Schuler Bailey, and I am based in Cody, Wyoming. I race and train across road, gravel, and mountain biking, and I’m always looking for ways to push my limits and take on bigger challenges. I’m especially excited for SBT GRVL because of the amazing champagne gravel, wonderful people and opportunity to compete at a high level.

ColoradoTucker Kahler
I’m Tucker! I’m an all-discipline, Colorado-born bike addict with racing experience in cross country, enduro, and downhill. I can’t wait to make my entrance into gravel this year with SBT, and get to experience an entirely new area of the sport I love!
My name is Zoe Honsinger, and I’m 16 years old. I lived in Sandpoint, Idaho for most of my life but moved to Bellingham, Washington this year. My background is in XC mountain bike racing on the Sandpoint team with NICA, but thanks to a similar program from Rebecca’s Private Idaho I had the opportunity to try out gravel racing, and fell in love with it. I raced the SBT 99 miler last year, and am stoked to come back this year with a whole crew of other inspiring junior athletes. I’m so grateful for this opportunity!
