The late switch from The Mountbatten Centre to a park and ride car park outside Winchester proved to be quite a challenging venue with the course approximately 800m long with two 90 degree turns and a 175 degree hairpin at the bottom of the slope, which proved to be quite physically challenging especially in the strong wind.
The women’s race was 35mins and 5 lap’s duration. The VC St Raphael pair of Marianne Britten and Ellie Gilham took the race on from the start by setting a very high pace, stringing the field out. The elastic eventually snapped and the pair got away for several laps but was finally chased down by the bunch. The pace remained high for several laps and as soon as it relented Marianne attacked and got a small break but the bunch was alert and refused to give her much headway. As soon as Marianne was hauled back in Ellie counter attacked and quickly built up a 10second lead. Ellie held the gap for 4 laps and then by making herself more aerodynamic into the downhill headwind started to increase her lead by 2 seconds per lap. Once the gap had grown to 20 seconds the bunch stopped chasing and by the end Ellie was close to catching the them.
Ellie took the victory alone with her team mate Marianne taking the bunch sprint.
Thanks to Dave Gilham
