How do I group on contiguous ranges?

I know some basic SQL, but this one is beyond me. I have looked high and low but no dice. I need a view of the following data, I can do this in the application layer code. But unfortunately for this particular one, the code must be put in the data layer:

I need to group by DayType such that the result is the following:

Unfortunately, the base table is required for the application layer to be in the format shown. Is this possible to do in a query?

WITH    q AS
        (
        SELECT  *,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY crew, dayType ORDER BY [date]) AS rnd,
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY crew ORDER BY [date]) AS rn
        FROM    mytable
        )
SELECT  MIN([date]), MAX([date]), crew AS name, dayType
FROM    q
GROUP BY
        crew, dayType, rnd - rn
