About

 

Ottawa Cross is the web site of me, Vicki Thomas – member of the 2010 Canadian Cyclo-Cross Team.

My goal for the 2010 cyclo-cross season was to earn a spot on the Canadian team and represent Canada at the 2010 World Cyclo-Cross Championships. I raced in the World Cyclo-Cross Championships on Jan. 31, 2010 in Tabor, Czech Republic. It was an amazing experience. A race like none other and truly my top racing moment ever.

The 2009 – 2010 cyclo-cross season was a dream season for me. Everything really clicked on and off the bike. I had an amazing support crew and super generous sponsors who really helped my cyclo-cross dreams possible.

Unfortunately the 2010-2011 cyclo-cross season did not work out as planned. I have ulcerative colitis and my season was hampered from the start and then cut short due to a nasty bout of this auto-immune disease.

But I’m back and ready to go for the upcoming 2011-2012 cyclo-cross season. I’ve set my sights on getting faster and stronger and once again representing Canada at the World Cyclo-Cross Championships.

On this web site I’ll keep you updated with my training, learning, and racing experiences.

Feel free to drop me an email at vickith@yahoo.com or look me up on Twitter.

Hey Pat!
Thanks for the comment. Got to say that there is no better place to race ‘cross than hear in Belgium. The racers, the fans and the atmosphere make it top notch.
Thanks for visiting my site.
