🐢 Who is Dan "Father Tortuga" Goese?
I am a local shaman of cycling. But since this institution is called "Father Dan's Cycling Chapel"* (my wife likes the sound of that), I'm not using my elevated "shaman" title or my Chinese nickname 爸爸丹 to avoid further confusion, because above all else, I'm a father. That was clearly my most important job in this lifetime, just one notch above being a good husband (which of course is part of being a good father). In the midst of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, I took on a new role: 爷爷 "Yé Yé" which means "grandfather on the father's side. Father Tortuga is a cycling grandpa! If you ride coastal San Diego County roads you might recognize me. I'm the guy in the photo above, taking a pull at the front (when I still could, in my 40s). I've become a Strava junkie, so if you're on Strava you can find me there, Instagram and/or Twitter. This old "Tortuga Trepadora" will keep climbing as long as he can swing a leg over the bike. I occasional include a cycling selfie, and recent ones might show I gave up on shaving for the pandemic...and maybe forever.

👀 Where did all the "content" (links, pictures) from the old LaJollaVelo.com website go?
My hosting package at GoDaddy expired and I don't make any money off this putzy habit, so I let the old web site die. I thought I'd try something new (and free) so here we are.
✍ Where is the Blog?
Click the "Blog" link on the left on your computer browser or the trigram ☰ (aka hamburger navigation menu button) in the upper-left corner on your phone. Occasionally I'll post something in the blog. By "occasionally" I mean VERY rarely, as I'm rarely compelled to write blogs...but I'll keep trying!
*For lost cycling souls seeking the echelon of salvation, I apologize for the sudden website name & address change. See my March 23, 2017 blog entry for an explanation of how I was forced into making this change.
