The acknowledgement on the original
award, called the CORBA/Al Farrell Award in honor of one of
mountain biking’s patron saints Dr. Al Farrell, stated “Given in
recognition of outstanding contributions to the Santa Monica
Mountains National Recreation Area and all of its visitors.” In
2005 it changed to the CORBA Award and reads “Extraordinary
Dedication and Contribution to Mountain Biking Recreation”
