Mark Griffith

Event founder and director

Mark founded Skinny Tire Events 22 years ago following the passing of his brother, Duane, to cancer. 

When not caught up in SKINNY events or building the Arroyo Crossing development in Moab, he can be found riding his bike, playing guitar, or hanging out with his family and friends.

Beth Logan

Beth is the behind-the-scenes go-to woman for registration, information, or donations.  When not responding to emails, she is either hanging with their daughter, Tanyon, or coaching clients to optimal health.

Thom Moreau

Thom is the logistics man coordinating tables, banners, food, water, and all supplies needed to make this event great for you. Up at 4 am to set up road signs and lingering at the tail end of the day to retrieve all items so that the event leaves no trace. Thom and his wife are avid road cyclists and are seen here visiting their summer home in Alaska.

Dan Novak

Dan is affectionately called "volunteer Dan" because he tirelessly provides all kinds of support and assistance to make these events happen smoothly! When not in Moab talking with the Skinny Tire Festival or Moab Century Tour cyclists, he is most likely hiking somewhere in the San Juan Mountain Range of Southern Colorado.

 

Chris & Shelley Graveatt

Chris and Shelley travel to Moab from Price, Utah bringing 30 of their closest friends with them! Together they make up the 5-Star-Communications Team supporting cyclists with radio communications on all routes. Have a flat tire? Need medical attention? Want a ride up that next hill? Wave down a SAG shuttle, stop into an AID station, or Call-A-Sag, and Shelley and Chris and their team of INCREDIBLE volunteers will be there to help.

MARK, SHERI GRIFFITH RIVER EXPEDITIONS, RIM TOURS

We know you want to get on the road and RIDE. But hiccups can happen so our crew is ready to assist with that flat tire, repair of a busted tube, or a ride up the next hill. Mark, a long-time friend of STE, is one of the sincerest and nicest people you’ll ever get a chance to meet. Sheri Griffith River Expeditions provides a lot of equipment needed to put on events, we are grateful for their sponsorship. Rim Tours generously offers vans and shuttle drivers, and often you'll see Chris and Mark (not pictured). CALL-A-SAG is here to serve you!

Communications Team

A reliable bunch of hand radio operators helping to communicate each day of our event from aid station to aid station and throughout our SAG vehicles.

Thank you Chris, Tyler, Patrick, Chris, Kelly, Bill and Murial!

CHRIS, RICKY, MURPHY and TOM, KATHY

Volunteers Extraordinaire! Chris and Ricky Daly with sidekick Murphy Brown and Tom and Kathy Haynie began hosting AID stations when the Skinny Tire Festival began. These two couples will make sure your needs are met, that you are having fun, and we guarantee, they’ll have a lot of fun while doing it!
