Up and coming road & track cyclist - Will Gilbank

Dunmow Rotary Club, following their fundraising event for Sport England (East), is funding a National Sport Development path for a hugely promising local track and road cyclist from Great Sampford, Will Gilbank.   Accompanied by his dad Charles, he was presented with Sport England’s cheque at Dunmow Rotary Club’s meeting this week.  Impressively tall (not the traditional build for élite cyclists!) he is embarking on his A-Level year, but nonetheless maintains an exhaustive régime of training and competing.  He says his fastest downhill speed so far was probably 70 mph.  Wearing Lycra.  

Gulp. You can read more about Will here

Dunmow Rotary has a history during more than 20 years of supporting aspiring and successful young sports stars. Most recently we sponsored Bethany Shriever MBE, a former Dunmow schoolgirl from Finchingfield who was crowned Olympic and World Champion BMX rider at the age of 22 in 2021. 

Here's wishing Will a similar glittering future — he already has some impressive successes under his belt.
