PrintMany may remember Emilia Fahlin (HTC-Columbia) sending our very own crashdan a get well message last year at the Redlands Classic. crashdan was sadly quite ill and was unable to meet Emilia.
This year the word is out that crashdan will be at the Redlands Classic. Many members of the women peloton are quite excited about the pending crashdan event and wanted to share their support.....thus begins the 2010 Fan of Dan Campaign.
The amazing Evelyn Stevens (HTC Columbia) and Emilia's team mate:
2009 NRC leader Alison Powers (Team VBF)
Sprinting superstar Kelly Benjamin (Colavita/Baci).
Oceania Games Time Trial Champion Alexis Rhodes. and Sprinter Erica Allar (Team VBF)
2008 National Criterium and Road Champion Brooke Miller (Team TIBCO).
Many thanks to these awesome women for showing their support for our very own crashdan. The 2010 Fan of Dan campaign has begun....

Holy shit, steph
You are redefining awesome, you know that? I am immensely proud to be vaguely acquainted with you, and I sincerely hope that the merest trace of your awesome rubs off on me somehow.
Briljant.
Well that should cheer you up. Briljant Steph...

Haha Awesome, Love it!

Now is the time to use the word "epic"
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.
OMG they are going to be so disappointed
when they find out Dan is nowhere near as cute as Cuddles the Cobble. “Isn’t that Savant?” might be the most common response when meeting the real crashdan.
Very cool Steph
I wonder
if crashdan will deign to mingle with the likes of us after this adulation.
I may be a bitch, but I'm not your bitch.
I am now the new Dan
If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to have time to do it again?
You did good, Steph.
Made Dan happy, and provided the rest of the community with an excellent result . . .
but... but... i thought BUNNY was your hero?

I'm personally wishing that I could be at Redlands
so that we can see Dan bow down to you. Not sure anyone will have the grace and aweness that you gave him when you bowed to him last year but wow – this is impressive and serious fun! You are the Chica, chica!!!
I'm ready for this road season to wrap up. Bring on Cross!
I feel like I should sponsor my own cycling team now :)
And load it exclusively with my fans! That would be AWESOME! We’d kick so much ass!!!!
I miss Paolo Bettini. That is all.
...and by the way....I owe Lyne a margarita (darn that Canadian hockey gold!)
sooo margaritas are on me at Redlands.
It's not really me I'm so happy for...
… it’s all the exposure Cuddles the Cobble is getting in the peloton :)
I miss Paolo Bettini. That is all.
Awesome!

Dude
Can we vote for which one you hook up with? Cause that would be awesome in a weird internet kid of way. If so, I vote for Erica Allar. She’s purdy. The others are all purdy too, but Erica is extra purdy….
Jimbo,
is Dan going to have to get an extra $100 from the ATM?
"Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation."
So the answer is 'yes'
Just checking. Would you consider starting an Allaranche?
"Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation."
So how long do we think it's going to take
Stan & Ollie here to figure out they scheduled their California training-camp a few weeks too early?
Training camp for Team VBF was last week
In fact…the pic with Alexi and Erica was taken at their training camp in Watsonville.
Since Stan and Ollie are both married
it really doesn’t matter.
The real tragedy is that Dan was busy working on the Port Huron Statement while Erica was in town.
"Woof, woof, woof! That's my other dog imitation."
goddam

I’d say she’s the one who will be doing the hitting (harder pleeze!)

The original post was pure brilliance
from concept to execution, but it’s the inclusion of Cuddles on the sign that elevates everything to a whole other level of wonderfulness!
- Wondering if Steph told them that Dan was the cobblestone. ;-p
Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds. Louis J. Helle, Jr.
I'm curious...
what you did tell them? Is the “Dan” you describe in your pitch in a wheelchair? or missing an eye? or terminally ill?
And even if he's a lazy man
and Chrash was certainly that… quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide… but sometimes there’s a man. . . sometimes there’s a man.
life is so unfair sometimes.
great post though. dan is a lucky man.
