All about Dave’s cycling adventures in and around Boulder.
“As late as 1954 there were those that still believed that running the mile in under 4 minutes would kill you.”
That was the opening line in the movie Four Minutes. I just finished watching it, and it was a very inspirational movie about the first man (Roger Bannister) to ever run a mile in under four minutes.
If you are ever in need of an inspirational, motivational movie check it out.

Rosarito – Ensanada Bike Ride, originally uploaded by mozealou.
Just registered for the Rosarito/Ensanda 50-mile ride on April 16th. My buddy Wakefield and I are going to ride it.
Looking forward to this as it raises some money for good causes, and it should be fun as it is in Mexico.
Read more about it on our main site:

This ride has won the following accolades too:
2007 Reader’s Choice Awards
Best Cycling Event – LA Sports & Fitness.
Best International Cycling Event – Competitor.
Best Destination Cycling Event – Competitor.
At pizza port. Too exhausted to say more

Simple Green, originally uploaded by mozealou.
Looking for a good chain degreaser/bike cleaning solution? Try Simple Green® All Purpose Industrial Cleaner & Degreaser. It is available at Staples.com and sells for around $19.99.
Looked all over for a degreaser that is biodegradable and effective and Simple Green is both. It is a must have for any cyclist and comes in a gallon container so you almost never run out.
Long road out of Elfin Forest, originally uploaded by mozealou.
This is the long road out of Elfin forest. If you are reading this it means I figured out how to post photos directly to my blog from my iPhone! Dave
I just went out for a solo ride of the Elfin Forest/Del Dios route. Today was possibly the most amazing day for cycling I have ever had. The temperature was some place in between 75-85 for virtually the entire route which is very unseasonably warm even for San Diego in February. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and I tried to make several posts while on the rode from my iPhone. Unfortunately it looks like wordpress (who I use for blogging) doesn’t support converting attached images in emails into embedded images in posts. After the ride I went back and retroactively added some photos of the ride.
You can see the photos here:

This is probably my favorite ride in San Diego as there is a little of everything, coast, wine country, forest and it has very little traffic.
I averaged 16.5 mph and was alone virtually the entire 36.5 mile route. I started in Encinitas and stopped for a bit to visit my sister who lives in Escondido.

Just got away from work for about an hour and did the Tour De Mission Bay. I am getting getting much more comfortable on the bike, and am not nearly as scared as traffic as I once was. Not sure if this is a good thing though, as this usually results in a car crash back to humility. Check out the route I did below:
