We had a great weekend here in Durango, Colorado, for the 40th anniversary Iron Horse Bicycle Classic! Trials returned after ten years and drew spectators in the hundreds. Riders came from all over and everyone had a great time. Aran Cook took the win with an amazing score of -1, followed closely by Ross Winsor with a score of 5. Robbie Pfunder rode great and finished with a 21. John Tollerud and Tom Ligon came in with close scores of 27 and 28.
The MTB class was exciting as well and turned out to be the largest class. These local guys were riding great and it came down to cleans to decide the winner. First place received a brand new Rockman Slate 2 compliments of MidwestBikeTrials.com! Thanks to everyone who stepped it up and purchased a NATS membership and congrats to everyone who won a fork in the raffle!Sunday’s demo at Steamworks Brewing was a great success as well. Thanks to John Tollerud, Aran Cook, Cliff Pinto, Max Schulze, Ryan Hannigan, Andy Siegel, and Paul Doty for helping out with the Demo. Max brought his Unicycle and the crowd was amazed. Thanks to everyone for coming and a huge thank you to all of the volunteers and sponsors for making this happen. I look forward to next year!
