The Christmas Cross Project

In early 2019, Ruby West, the national under-23 cyclocross champion, finished 15th at Grand Prix Sven Nys. It was the kind of opportunity that the Christmas Cross Project provides.

“I’ve certainly had my share of cyclingrelated gifts over the years,” West says. “One year, I got a new Tacx trainer and a wheel with a trainer tire on it. The next year, I got a set of rollers to train on. Around Christmas time, it’s normally something for indoor training because, you know, Canadian winters.”
