David Wood has been selected from over 15,000 riders to appear at the first ever national Deliveroo Rider Races.

Last year Deliveroo riders, travelled the equivalent of 16 trips to the moon and back and - to celebrate the feat - Deliveroo has set up the Rider Races to bring riders together at Britain’s most iconic biking venue.

The food delivery firm says it is a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity to compete at the Olympic Velodrome for the coveted Rider Races crown.’

Rider David Wood said: “I have been with Deliveroo for just over three months and the event will be a fantastic way to connect with other riders from across the country. I love cycling and feel very happy to have been given the chance to cycle at the Olympic Park with Deliveroo.”

The big day will be split into two stages. First, riders will take part in an outdoor road circuit where lap times will be recorded. Then, those with the fastest times will move indoors for the final race around the velodrome.

The first place winner will receive a £1,000 in Deliveroo credit and a £250 Cycle Surgery Voucher.

The event will be a great way to meet riders from across the country and I am looking forward to what will be a fun day.”
