On June 24th, 49-year-old Dave Goldfain was attempting to complete the Four Seasons of Horsetooth Challenge course for the 12th time before a heart attack derailed his ride. Thankfully the marketing expert and founder/CMO at Cereal Agency survived the emergency thanks to being in remarkably good physical condition. He's ridden Towers Road an astonishing 54 times in 2023, 103 times in 2022, for a total of 443 times. According to doctors, there were no preexisting conditions, signs or much he could have done to prevent/predict the emergency.
