a season championship position, complete with a plaque of their standing and a
photograph of themselves riding. This has long been a valued tradition in the Tri-

those individuals who stood out from the crowd.
Titanium Tough Award was created to recognize the efforts of teamwork
amongst parents and young adults; the award is not about winning, but about
finishing what you start. This year, the award was not given to a young adult, but

greatest number of clean rides for the season. The rider is given a personalized
Mr. Clean doll as the trophy for this accomplishment. This year, Mark “Lightning”
