The Canadian Cyclocross National Championships took place this past weekend in Langford, British Columbia, and North of the Border correspondent, Nick Iwanyshyn, was on site. Ava Holmgren and Tyler Clark won the elite races on Saturday to earn the 2022 Canadian champs jerseys.
The men raced first and shooting conditions were already difficult with overcast skies and rain. By the time the women hit the track, it was already getting so dark some riders finished with headlamps. Because of this, we could not grab usable photos of Sandra Walter and Holly Henry who finished second and third in the women’s elite championship race.
Despite the formidable challenges inside and outside of the tape, Nick was able to capture most of the action. Here’s what it looked like.

Amazing ride by Holmgren- another one for the youngers- but more info re Ruby and Jens mechanicals please - from the pics it looks like Ruby was in the race to win. Mechanicals all part of CX vibe but how significant were they - and what were they? PS Did no one do a Vlog or pirate the live stream - asking for the U.K. Props also to the men’s podium - looks like the second favourite Canadian has been usurped by the youth on MTBs .
