Announcing Our Award Winners!

The 2009 Adventure Cycling Bicycle Travel Awards nominations closed on September 30th. In the past month, our team of staff and board members has reviewed the dozens of nominations, chosen our winners and contacted them to let them know about the honor. All were pleasantly surprised to be honored for doing things that seemed so natural and commonplace to them, things that flowed directly from their passion for cycling, and a desire to help out.

From the couple in North Dakota offering a bunk to traveling cyclists, to the life member in Arizona who has worked tirelessly to help create a national bike route system; from the new member in Montana who simply wanted to meet new people and be a more integral part of the organization through volunteering, to the bike shop in Virginia that goes out of its way to make sure anyone of any ability has a chance to explore their world on a bike, this year's award winners were superb.

A big thanks to Keen Footwear and 53x11 Coffee for providing some fabulous prizes for our winners!
