Golden Gear Award
The Golden Gear is an STBC recognition award given annually by its prior year recipient to the STBC member they believe most deserves it. It is a great honor to receive the Golden Gear Award. The Golden Gear had its roots in fun... it was joked about as being given to whomever, for whatever reason the giver wanted. Although it was joked about, the honorees have always been amongst our most active members - giving much of their time and energy and cycling passion to STBC. Let's take a walk down memory lane and look at the honorees over the years...
