AWARDS

1) The Dayton Cycling Club recognizes the achievements of the members annually. All members are eligible to qualify for an award plaque upon meeting one of two requirements:

A minimum of 500 miles in one of the following mileage categories; touring, commuting or bikeways
Volunteer at a DCC event.

Annually thereafter, members can receive bars to hang on those plaques. To qualify for a bar a member must:

Achieve a minimum of 500 miles in one of the following mileage categories; touring, commuting, bikeways or indoor bike on rollers or indoor trainers (Dec – Feb Only for indoors)
Volunteer for DCC event ( Ride lead, Serve on DCC Board, SAG, Cook, Etc.)

Mileage bars are awarded in all four categories and will state both the category and the miles obtained. The mileage bars will be awarded in the following increments:

500 miles (for miles 500 – 999)
1000 miles (for miles 1000 – 1999)
2000 miles (for miles 2000 – 2999)
Mileage over 3000 will reflect actual mileage reported for the year

Cyclopath Award

Awarded to any DCC member who rides 125 different miles on a bike path in one calendar year. For example ride a 20 mile roundtrip on a specific bike path route and get credit for 10 different miles no matter how many times during the year you ride that route.

2) DCC members can also be nominated by other members for special awards. The following is a list of current special awards and recent winners of those awards. All awards are not awarded each year.

Hugo B. Daba Award

Awarded to ride leaders who demonstrate the qualities of Hugo B. Daba who was a long time DCC ride leader. Qualities starting the ride on time, riding with the slowest riders, increasing DCC membership, assisting with bike maintenance as required, and safety of the group on the ride.
