Richard Westwood: February 2014

Friday, February 14, 2014. Putting the fun back into cycling. Not that what I've been doing up to now hasn't been fun. I mean, I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't fun. would I? So what is it that makes cycling fun? I bought my first decent road bike in time for my first ever group ride. The parking lot at Fortinos was the designated meeting place for what was then the Sunday group ride. Those early years with FMCT were a blast. I did more triathlons/duathlons that Summer of 2005 than in all the previ...

Richard Westwood: May 2013

Monday, May 13, 2013. Lake of Bays Road Race - 2013 Report. In 2005, I participated in my first "Muskoka Chase" triathlon and fell in love with the Muskoka region. I've been coming back each year since that race to ride my bike at various times ranging from late Spring to late Summer. This was the first time I'd chosen to ride my bike here this early in the year. I dressed warm for the start of the Lake of Bays Road Race, including my thick Winter snow gloves. With the angry winds howling, I slipped to t...

Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Grey County Road Race 2014 - Race Report. It's kind of funny that I had so much to write about for a race in which I didn't do so well and yet not really much to write about for a race in which I did fairly well: the 2014 Grey County Road Race. I wondered. I couldn't find an answer my own question and instead did my best to keep my nose out of the wind. Being close to the front but not at the front made that job a whole lot easier.

Tuesday, July 1, 2014. 2014 Coupe Des Ameriques - Race Report. What a difference a year makes. I did the Coupe Des Ameriques Stage race. View from the top of the stage 1 hill climb. After the race, I rode the 3 km back to the chalet with Marco who had had a similarly humbling experience and we drove down into town for some wine and beer with which to drown our sorrows. Tomorrow was another day. View from our chalet. Stage 3 finish line. This is the finish of the B (40-49) race. I told Sylvan I'd say 'Hi'.

Richard Westwood: April 2014
http://richard-westwood.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Tour of the Battenkill - 2014. My travelling companions, Joe and Phill, preparing for the race. I flicked both levers back and forth several times but still nothing. Crap! The start of Juniper Swamp Road was fairly gentle but I could see up ahead where the road kicked up. The front riders were just about there already with the rest of the pack strung out in a long line. I was at the back. Damn! I reached under the down-tube to try and pull on the cable but my lobster claw gloves w...

Richard Westwood: 2014-2015 - Pretraining, Block1 (Rehab from hip surgery)
http://richard-westwood.blogspot.com/2015/01/2014-2015-pretraining-block1-rehab-from.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2015. 2014-2015 - Pretraining, Block1 (Rehab from hip surgery). In the previous blog. For this series, I outlined my 2014-2015 Winter training goals and the training plan intended to take me there. This blog reviews the first 2 blocks of that training plan. Because I had hip surgery on Sept 7, 2014, my 2014-2015 Winter training season started much earlier than usual with a 5-week training block spanning Sep 15 to Oct 19. Surprisingly, though using a cane throughout this Transition.
