Christmas Cross in images
I love to take pictures. It’s a fun skill to learn for me, and a fun way to stay busy during our travels.
Here are a few of my favorite images from Christmas Cross this year.
Cheers,

Morning arrival in Belgium after our overnight flight. We rented the van and are enjoying our homemade oatmeal & coffee while waiting to meet up the guys from Cyclocross Custom who kept some equipment for us.
When gluing tubulars in the hotel room in Europe, you don’t always have the right tools. David got creative and used a latex glove instead of a paint brush to spread the glue.
Our tub of glue got confiscated at the airport. Luckily we were able to purchase some tiny tubes of glue at a bike shop in Hasselt, Belgium.
Travelling with 3 bikes and 9 sets of wheels, the biggest challenge is fitting all the gear in the hotel room!
We rented a big sprinter van for our trip (pro tip: you have to rent those outside of the airport). David got creative and used butcher’s twine to tie up all our bikes and equipment on the side panels of the van.
We left this bike in Europe after Tabor World Cup in November. It stayed in a bike bag in Europe for about a month. Upon arrival, David decided to change the chain. We didn’t know if the bike had been left in humid conditions for weeks. Better safe than sorry.
Cyclcocross Canada crew at the National Team house in Tielt-Winge, Belgium. The house has a huge garage/warehouse where the mechanics work and where we can store some stuff…the only problem? No heating! Cyclocross Canada mechanics are rockstars.
