What's this all for?
As part of Pure Energy Velo, we want to encourage and advocate cycling in our community so that we can stay stronger, healthier, and safer! The more we know and participate, the greater we improve our cycling lives and safety. That is the bottom line mission of Pure Energy Velo. However, last year, we lost a dear friend in the cycling community, in Dan Wilson. He was killed by a drunk driver who veered head-on into Dan's lane…the driver had 2 previous DUI's. Dan followed all the rules of the road and a season cycling veteran. He left our peleton too early and is survived by a wonderful wife and 2 beautiful boys! From last year's event, we donated $2500 in cash privately to Dan's wife and children. We are all "Dan Wilson". Lets keep cycling strong, safe, and smart in our community, so come commemorate, celebrate, and participate with us!
