Iron Horse Bicycle Classic

Since 1972, cyclists from across the country have raced the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to Silverton — the road race, the mountain race, and the iconic climb that defines the Iron Horse. The 2026 Iron Horse Bicycle Classic runs May 22–24 out of Durango, 14 miles from the retreat. Outdoorsy Bayfield is your basecamp: roll in, rest well, and let us handle everything between stages. Registered riders who present a race bib unlock our In The Saddle offer — 35% off RV sites, 25% off Lux Tents, May 16–25, 2-night minimum. Use code INTHESADDLE when booking.
