Name: Ryan Roth
Sport: Cycling
Hometown: Bright, ON
Favorite Sports Memory:
Winning the National Championships in 2001 as a Junior – it had been a major goal of mine for the season, it was my first major win and it led to me competing in the World Championships in Lisbon that fall.
Favorite Quote:
Beyond the very extreme of fatigue and distress, we may find amounts of ease and power we never dreamed ourselves to own; sources of strength never taxed at all because we never push through the obstruction.
CAN Fund Testimonial:
The Canadian Athletes Now funding is allowing me to pay for physiotherapy and massage sessions, training camps, cutting edge training methods such as wind tunnel testing, as well as cover my living costs. The result is an increased focus on my training to take my performance to the next level.
Best Result:
Canadian National Time Trial 2008 – 2nd Place, Vuelta Cuba Time Trial (Stage 7) 2010 – 1st place, 4th in the final general classification.
Fun Facts:
Quite a few cyclists I know went on to open a coffee shop in their retirement, I’d like to do something similar but open a gourmet Ice Cream shop.
