Competitive riders can register for the Coca-Cola Road Race.Ģ020 that deferred registrants from 2021 will have priority registration for 2022. The McDonald’s Citizen Tour is a non-timed, non-competitive event. Line up in Durango at 6,512’, cross a finish line like no other in Silverton at 9,318’, and earn bragging rights forever-whether you aim to beat the train or just enjoy the ride. Ride in the spirit of those first friends who challenged each other to beat the train. Cyclists conquer two mountain passes higher than 10,000 feet on this point-to-point ride, along with more than 6,000 feet of vertical climb and two breathtaking descents. They lost of a lot of bike shops as dealers after basically giving inventory to the CEO's son's business (Randall Scott Cycles) so he could make money selling the bikes direct for cheaper than the shops.The most popular event in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, the McDonald’s Citizen Tour winds through 50 miles of Colorado’s finest scenery.

The CEO paid family members bogus salaries from the company payroll. They ended up with about $20 million in debt because they stopped paying their suppliers and tricked other suppliers into delivering products they no intent to pay for. They licensed Dave Weagle's DW Link suspension and then stopped paying him. They had nothing left to sell at that point besides the rights to the Iron Horse name and a bunch of unsold bikes and partsĪlmost every single MKIII frame they made has broken because of a design fault. They had been good at one point, but then they ran themselves into the ground in a really bad way and were forced by bankruptcy to sell their inventory and brand name to Dorel. I disagree that paints Iron Horse in way too positive a light. " Every cyclist has something to teach and something to learn."

If you want to submit a trail or bike photo instead – your new bike leaning against a tree, or the view from top of the trail, for example – add it to the Weekly Gear Gallery Thread. The general rule is photo and video submissions to /r/mtb should be of people riding mountain bikes. Photos should be of people riding mountain bikes. If you need help choosing a bike, please be sure to tag your post with the WhichBike flair, and include some basic information, like your price range and the type of riding you'll be doing.
