Established in 1972, the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic is one of the oldest races held on the Western Slope of Colorado. With 36 riders, and the inspiration of Tom Mayer, the Iron Horse Classic became a challenge of man against machine. Riding the longer route on Highway 550, riders challenge the Iron Horse (the steam powered locomotive of the Durango and Silverton) in a race from Durango up to Silverton.
