Purpose
Provide a club-approved award to ride leaders who accumulate a predetermined number of points by leading rides each year, as a way to recognize their volunteer efforts for the club. These awards are contingent on sufficient funds available in the Club treasury.

The Ride Captain will recognize each ride leader who has accumulated sufficient points by leading regular or multi-day rides; or has organized a major ride during the calendar year. Ride totals are determined at year’s end. The award is typically a Ride Leader bike pin, but can be any award of the Ride Captain’s choosing with approval by the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee must determine availability of funds for the awards.

Award Criteria
The Top 25 Ride Leaders with the most official rides will be eligible for awards. Rides must be on the WCBC Ride Calendar. Any ride on the calendar counts as a ride led, even cancelled and adverse weather rides. Multi-day rides are credited each riding day separately of the event (2-days on-road event = 2 rides).

Ride Leader
WCBC member in good standing who led WCBC rides prior to 2020 or has completed the WCBC Ride Leader Orientation. A refresher in training should be completed every 5 years.

Major Rides
Club-sanctioned supported rides that are a revenue source for the club, e.g. Icicle, Doublecross, Shorefire and Savage.

Multi-Day Rides
Club-sanctioned multi-day rides, e.g. Rehoboth Weekend.

Regular Rides
Rides that are present on the WCBC Ride Calendar.
