The phrase "Trail Angel" refers to a generous individual or group encountered during a bicycle tour that enhances the cyclotourist's experience, by helping the cyclist as a form of goodwill. The award is named for June Curry, the legendary Cookie Lady of Afton, Virginia, who has been assisting cyclists on the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail since 1976. Adventure Cycling created the Braxton Bike Shop Award to honor bike shops throughout the nation that go out of their way to provide unique services to bicycle tourists. The Braxton Bike Shop, namesake of the award, for years went above and beyond to serve touring cyclists in their city of Missoula, Mont. Learn more at [www.adventurecycling.org/outreach/awards.]
