Ellie Gilham (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) got her season off to the perfect start with victory in the springtime pursuit in South Devon. Gilham has been punching above her weight in training this winter and the hard work is paying off. Riding with the local chain gang has been tough, she does not always hang on but by the time she is dropped the quality work is done. Gilham proved strongest in the uphill finish, powering across the line as others faded. The seventeen year old was out for 3 ½ hours the following day with father Dave sitting on her wheel and she will be back in Devon next week.
