Michael "Mike"[4] Woods (born 12 October 1986) is a Canadian racing cyclist.[5]
Career
Woods' first sport was ice hockey and his childhood ambition was to play as a left wing for the Toronto Maple Leafs.[1] Prior to becoming a cyclist Woods was a promising middle-distance runner, setting Canadian national junior records in the mile and 3000 metres in 2005 as well as taking the gold medal in the 1500 metres at the 2005 Pan American Junior Athletics Championships.[2] However he suffered a recurring stress fracture in his left foot, exacerbated by excessive training and racing, resulting in him running his last race in 2007.[2][6] Woods underwent surgery twice in order to correct the problem without success. He took up cycling initially as cross-training before friends persuaded him to enter races.[2]
Woods was taught English at school by Paul Dewar, who was later elected as a Member of Parliament.[1] Woods attended the University of Michigan on a track athletic scholarship, graduating in 2008.[2] Whilst at UoM he was coached by Ron Warhurst.[7]
