Van Gilder the Sandy girl in Jersey

Laura Van Gilder took another victory in her maiden 'cross season as she reigned on the South Jersey sandy soil. Van Gilder mastered the difficult conditions to beat Dee Dee Winfield (Velo Bella / Kona). Van Gilder's win made it a double triumph for C3-Sollay.com, the squad taking honours in both the men's and women's events.

It was a two-rider race from the start, with Winfield and Van Gilder rapidly moving ahead of the remainder of the women's field. Van Gilder was able to bound up the two-foot-high amphitheatre steps as fast as any of the taller women, despite giving away a few inches to her rivals. She and Winfield remained together to the very end, when Van Gilder unleashed her legendary sprint on the slightly uphill paved road finish to take yet another win in her rookie cyclo-cross season.
