🚴 Is this NOT the religious zealot cycling church site you're looking for?
All are welcomed here, but if this isn't what you expected, see the "About the Chapel" page (link on the left) for websites that may help you on your quest for cycling salvation.*
🐢 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 for LaJollaVelo.com 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.
