strong beer, strong legs: Sep 1, 2012
http://strongbeerstronglegs.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Strong beer, strong legs. Profound words from a brilliant yet troubled mind. Saturday, September 1, 2012. Then , earlier this evening an idea hit me like a dance club sucker punch. My son had been awake all day, so with this instinct I have recently developed I was able to surmise that he will be tired and go to bed early. So , why don't I put the last nail in the coffin and make him walk up to the Liquor store with me? At 7% I would guess those monks consider this a possible trippel. I think. I ...I bor...

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...

Strong beer, strong legs. Profound words from a brilliant yet troubled mind. Friday, August 10, 2012. Canadian Cyclist WOB thread. Sorry everyone, I thought this would be a better outlet than the Canadian Cyclist forum for this topic. It went a little out of control. My apologies to anyone who feels they got slandered, and anyone on my team. I could never have guessed it would get that dirty. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Richard Westwood: March 2014
http://richard-westwood.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 15, 2014. Are We Having Fun Yet? In my previous post. Getting close to mid-March, I had expected to be riding outside by now. Instead, we get yet another snowfall. Considering the unplanned extension to my Winter training, I've been coping surprisingly well. Having a hard date of April 5 for the first A race. Really is. It's caused me to dutifully continue my daily trudge down to the basement for each scheduled workout. The long range forecast shows daily highs barely above zero. The Tour...
