On Wednesday, April 23, 2025, the first day of the Tour of the Gila, featured the Time Trials on New Mexico 90, south of Silver City, with the beginning and the finish at Tyrone.
In 2000, the Tyrone Property Owners Association decided to offer lunch to the volunteers and staff that work the time trials each year. The tradition continues under the Tyrone Community Association, which replaced the TPAO.
