The Trail Angel Award is named in honor of June Curry, the famous Cookie Lady of Afton, Virginia. June has been assisting cyclists on the TransAmerica Trail since 1976. To date, more than 11,000 touring cyclists have enjoyed the hospitality at her home in Virginia.
In this spirit, the Trail Angel award honors a generous individual or group encountered during a bicycle tour that makes the cyclotourist’s journey easier, or in some cases, even possible, by helping the cyclist through an act of goodwill.
