Our 2011 Iron Horse Training program was a huge success, resulting in 97% of our program participants completing the ride into Silverton with laughs and grins and high-fives all around.  More importantly, the vast majority of our participants report that they’ve maintained their training and embraced their newfound fitness, resulting in a happier, healthier lifestyle. Many of them plan to make the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic an annual rite of passage.

The Iron Horse Training program begins with 12 weeks of indoor riding on spin bikes, after which we move outdoors in April for 8 weeks of outdoor riding, culminating with the Memorial Day weekend ride from Durango to Silverton, Colorado. Each week, our information-packed e-mails will teach you how to get the most out of your training, your equipment and your nutrition.  In addition, our professional team of trainers and coaches are available during the entire duration of the training program for private, personal consultation with you in an effort to maximize your training.

The cost of the on-line program is $250 for the five-month program.

We will look forward to meeting you in Durango and giving you a few more "local" tips on Iron Horse weekend.
