" The Iron Horse mountain bike race is unlike any other race I do all year. We get to race through downtown, rip awesome single track and ride through a brewery inches from patrons bellied up to the bar.
The whole weekend is awesome"

- Todd Wells Former Iron Horse Mountain Bike winner
"One of my favorite parts of the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic besides the incredible scenery of the San Juan Mountains, is the people who have put their heart and soul into training for the event. Seeing their elated expressions as they cross the finish line in Silverton, you can definitely tell that this event is a life-changing experience for many of the participants. That’s what I love to see more than anything!"

- Chris Wherry
"The Iron Horse is a challenging ride in the most majestic mountain setting you can imagine! Climbs that test the average rider and down hills that will make you smile. It is well organized and offers plenty of support and great aid stations along the way. Not to mention the sweet after party in Silverton at Memorial Park - always well done! Thanks IHBC for being awesome year after year."
