The Badge of Honour is Scottish Cycling’s highest accolade, having been awarded to the great and the good of Scottish cycle sport since 1981, and Scottish Cycling are now welcoming nominations for the 2022 award.
The Scottish Cycling Badge of Honour recognises the contribution and achievement of individuals who have shown exceptional dedication, made a remarkable contribution or given an outstanding performance, through a lifetime dedicated to the sport of cycling in Scotland.
Presenting the award at the Scottish Cycling AGM will be President, Kathy Gilchrist, and she said of the award:
"This is the highest honour there is in my eyes, given to someone who has made a long-lasting, tangible difference to Scottish Cycling. This award unifies all areas of our wonderful sport, from serial volunteers, to coaches, commissaires and of course riders.
"When you look down the list of past winners there are some truly inspirational names on the list and I'm sure the 2022 recipient(s) will be no different. It has been great see some sense of normailty return this year, with a more full racing calendar and club activity getting back to it's best, but the winner will no doubt have made a contribution to our community that spans far more than 12 months.
"I look forward to presenting the Badge of Honour for the first time in my role as President at the Scottish Cycling AGM at the end of the month."
