To travel by bicycle is
a humble, nonagressive
way to get close to people.
It is a way of saying we
are passing through with
no thought of invasion or
conquest, only the simple
will to share a part
of the war.
- Claude Herve

June Curry Trail Angel Award

AWARD DESCRIPTION

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.

ELIGIBILITY/CRITERIA

Any individual or group that went out of their way to do something special for a touring cyclist is eligible for nomination. The act(s) of kindness does not need to have occurred in 2010 in order to qualify for nomination. You can re-nominate a past nominee that has not won an award.

HOW TO NOMINATE

Anyone can nominate a deserving individual or group for the 2010 Trail Angel Award between July 1, 2010 and September 30, 2010. Beginning in July, nomination forms will be available online. Nominations must arrive at our office by September 30, 2010 in order to be considered for the 2010 Award. Note that your nomination language may be used in Adventure Cycling Association’s materials.

SELECTION PROCESS

The selection committee is comprised of Adventure Cycling Association staff members and Board of Directors. All nominations will be honored with a certificate and letter of appreciation.

One winner will be chosen and will receive a plaque and letter of recognition, as well as write-ups in Adventure Cyclist magazine, Bike Bits bi-weekly e-newsletter, the Adventure Cycling website and social media sites, as well as inclusion in a nationally distributed news release.
