Ruby West - Cyclocross Racer and Olympic Hopeful

Ruby West is a life-long competitive cyclist and nature lover.

Ruby has represented Canada at five consecutive World Championships for cyclocross as well as banking many impressive results around North America and Europe in her still young career, including:

• Current U23 Pan American Champion
• Three Time U23 Canadian National Champion
• Represented Canada at Four Consecutive World Championships

In 2021, Ruby has committed to pursuing the track, after being recruited by the Canadian NextGen program, and has her sights on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Off the bike Ruby keeps busy at her family farm looking after chickens, goats and a new donkey. Ruby has a great love and appreciation for anything outdoors and aims to do her part in minimising her footprint through sustainable swaps in her daily life.
