The Velodrome Challenge
Last week Ruffs entered a team into the Great Ormond Street Hospital Velodrome Challenge. The day was supported by the Gordon and Tana Ramsay Foundation who raise money for the hospital. It was a truly family affair with Rosanna Ruff chairing the event and the Ruffs Team consisting of Ed Ruff, Harriet Ruff, Kydd Boyle (Rosanna’s husband) and Tom Watmough (Ali Ruff’s partner).

Team Ruff ready and raring to race… Ed Ruff, Tom Watmough, Mark Ruff, Rosanna Ruff, Kydd Boyle and Harriet Ruff.
The race was held at the London Olympic Velodrome which for 4 velodrome novices was quite an intimidating start. Luckily we had the good fortune to be spoilt with 2 training sessions from the likes of Victoria Pendleton, Callum Skinner and Mark Cavendish.

The team on the track
We were thrilled by the end of the event to, not only stay upright on our gearless, brakeless bikes but to also come in a respectable place.
