  Dan, an avid cyclist, made exceptional achievements in improving the 
health, fitness, and community spirit of Golden residents. He was a 
pivotal member of the community in organizing the Foothills Running and 
Biking Club, participating in the bikeability task force, serving on 
the board of Leadership Golden, and working to make the Golden stage of 
the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
  Dan was one of the organizing committee's co-chairs responsible for 
the staging of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Golden. This was the 
second year the community enjoyed 135 of the world's best riders as 
they raced over 518 miles through the beautiful scenery of Golden and 
much of Colorado. Dan used the race to continually engage sponsors and 
the community in cycling year round.
  Above all, Dan exemplifies what it means to live healthy through 
exercise, while enjoying the community and scenery of Golden.
  Mr. Dwyer is a champion in the community and I am honored to 
congratulate him on the 2012 Mayor of Golden's Award for Excellence. I 
am sure he will exhibit the same dedication and commitment in all his 
future endeavors.
