The awards night for the Tom Danielson Junior Cycling Cup was October 19, 2007. The event was held at Wheat Ridge Cyclery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Visit the Wheat Ridge Cyclery web site.

An enormous crowd of over 275 people came out to support junior cycling and to meet Tom. Each medallist was presented custom made medals with Tom's image embossed on one side and their name and category printed on the other side. The top points leaders from each category received trophies and an official TDJCC jersey as well.

Tom started things off by thanking and welcoming the juniors and their parents. He gave an enlightening talk about his rise from a junior in Connecticut to racing at the highest level in Europe. Tom stressed the importance of education and encouraged all the kids to work hard in school and believe in themselves.

The series was a huge success in only its first year. Races had record participation by juniors this season. Next year should be even better as the series continues along with some additional surprises! Thanks to everyone who made this night possible and to the parents of all the juniors who participated in the series.
