Legendary Gang-Member Passes!
The ultra cycling community is mourning the passing of a true and great friend, legendary cyclist Dan Crain. Dan began riding the California Triple Crown series of double century events in 1996 and completed a remarkable 106 doubles to his impressive record and earning 13 California Triple Crowns during his journey. Even more remarkable is he was inducted into the California Triple Crown Hall of Fame in 2001 - five years since the start of his double century experience with the California Triple Crown. He also competed in the world renowned Adventure Corps Furnace Creek 508 bicycle race and finished the 508 mile race 7 times as a solo entry, 2 man team, and tandem. Please visit Dan's Tribute Page to read about his incredible experiences.
A memorial service to celebrate Dan's incredible life was held on Saturday, August 21, 2010 at Harbor Christian Church in Newport Beach. Over 300 people witnessed the wonderful stories and memories that was shared from family members, as well as his personal friends. Following the service and luncheon, Anny Beck hosted an 8 mile tribute ride in honor of Dan as they ride Newport's Back Bay loop.
ADO Gang-member Roland Hoffman produced a beautiful video that was shown during the service, capturing Dan's incredible life here on earth. You can enjoy the video by clicking on the link below.
