A Special Greeting for crashdan

crashdan.....your new fan, Emilia, would like to send you a special greeting in hopes that this will help you get over your rather nasty cold. She was bummed that you were ill this morning and hopes you can meet her next year at either the Tour of California or the Redlands Classics. She was quite excited that you were able to watch her race the Downtown Crit on Saturday. Emilia is a fantastic sprinter!

Get well Dan! (smile)

I’d be a very happy girl. I would frame it and put it on my office wall! You couldn’t get some kind of autograph too could you? I’ll buy you a drink in Gent!

by Albertina on Mar 30, 2009 7:28 AM EDT up reply actions

Standing ovations for people and a personalized pic for CrashDan. What a weekend.
Can’t wait to read your write up on the TT1 women’s team!

CrashDan so better be bowing to you now. LOL!

Sean Weide....Team Type 1 Communications Director...

….definitely deserves a standing ovation….though I think we did surprise him with our huge ovation Saturday night. He is not only an awesome Media guru but a super nice person!! Wish I could clone Sean! Every professional cycling team needs a “Sean.”

Sean is the man. He understands the power of media and new media, and is a nice person to boot – yes a PR man that is nice, they exist!

I don't throw around the word "hero" too much Steph, but

this might be the single nicest thing one human being has ever done for another.

yup....Emlia is pretty darn cool!

Kudos to Dan for sticking around for the crit on Saturday and dinner with Lyne and I Saturday night. Dan was one sick puppy! Thanks for driving out to Redlands for the race Dan.

Emilia was truly disappointed that Dan was ill and could not be there. Dan….you have an Emilia appointment next year!

Dan….perhaps you need to take another Zabriskie shower. (grin)

Normally I would email him

OMFG...

I started laughing so hard that I started coughing… coughing so hard that I literally started seeing stars. So yes, I saw Emilia and I saw stars. I am absolutely dumbfounded… I got forced into work this morning and a couple people poked their heads into my office to make sure I wasn’t dying I was spluttering so hard. That is single handedly the best “Get Well Soon” message I’ve ever received and most likely ever will receive. I really can’t thank you enough for that Steph; this has made my day beyond anything!!! While I will most likely crawl back into my den of ill health in short order, it will be with a huge smile.

Thanks Steph
Thanks Lyne
Thanks Tony
Thanks Emilia

Wahooo...you're alive!!

You were one sick guy on Sunday…and we were quite worried about you. We definitely wanted to get a greeting out to you…..and thought this was the best way. (smile)

Emilia was seriously sad that you were ill. When I showed her the sign…she chuckled and said “of course, of course…I would love to say "Hi!” She said she would meet you next year…sooo you, my friend, have an Emilia appointment next year.

Thanks again for driving out to Redlands.

Chris has given us a request…ooops, I mean a hint….that we will have to work on (yup, we sure do Chris!) Now you know that Vanderkitten is a local team for us right?…just saying (big grin)

Glad to read that Emilia’s greeting made you smile!

Steph is right, we really were worried about you

not to be mean but you looked horrible on Sunday morning. So glad you came down to see us but I felt guilty that you were not home, in bed.

Of course, then I wouldn’t have been rejoiced by the story of the Zabriskie shower and our homage to the pig.

Okay when’s the next race….. oooohh Manhattan Beach Grand Prix!
