Xan Crees

Better late than never 🫣
Took a week to reset in Lagos, Portugal ✨️. Surfing, swimming and drinking a lot of iced lattes! The most perfect week away from the pedals.
The last few months have felt incredibly bike focused. Even when I'm not on a bike it feels like I'm planning the season ahead.
So the time away to just be Xan instead of Xan the cyclist was such a welcome break. Don't get me wrong, I love the person I am with or without the bike but sometimes it's hard to give time to my other hobbies and the those I love when so much of my time is focused on goals on the bike.
That said I came back pretty fired up for the season ahead ✨️🥳
Not long now 👀

August ✨️ The month of quietly ticking over whilst everything happens in the background
I've been a little quiet on socials but v busy behind the scenes.
There's been some big changes and a lot of work going on, both on and off the bike! Cannot wait to share more soon but for now enjoy this peak of the last month.

3 years of smiling my way around Gravel Rocks ✨️🤩
To the point winning felt like the least important part to share about the weekend. Every year I debate adding a gravel event to the middle of a very busy crit season and every year I'm so grateful that I do. My heart is well and truly full. An incredible weekend surrounded by friends, riding some fab gravel trails and a few spicy efforts just to keep it real.

Thank you .components and .lights for having me. It's always a blast to spend some time with the guys at the event!
Guess it's time to go back to crit racing again! 👀

Kicking off the crit series in Colne ⚡️
Finding the legs (and the head again)! Couldn't quite pull of a result but there's plenty more chances. Time for some rest 💤 before we go again at Nationals

LDN Crit racing is so back 🥳✨️
So so cool to be racing through the streets of London . One of the spiciest crits I've ever raced but the feelings were so good and the atmosphere was electric⚡️
It was a shame to be caught the wrong side of the crash but so good to be fighting until then. Settled for 16th and hungry for more!
Big thank you to for looking after us and so nice to catch up with so many friends throughout the event!
🔜 up next tomorrow
