Some of the better pictures taken at last Wednesday's Xmas Cross cyclocross meeting up at the Kurondo Pond in Ikoma...
This was a stand alone event from the usual Kansai Cyclocross calendar and there was a party atmosphere with many of the riders choosing to race in fancy dress costumes. From the inspired...
