Southend Wheeler, Katie-Ann Elliston is one of three women riders selected to join the ŠKODA DSI Cycling Academy for 2022. Alex Morrice from Guildford, and Maia Forde from Tooting make up the trio under the mentorship of Britain’s greatest ever Paralympian, Dame Sarah Storey. All three riders were selected following a vigorous testing day at Lee Valley VeloPark in March.
The Academy offers a year-long programme for cyclists, aged between 18-24, providing a clear direction within the sport so that they can maximise their potential.
Katie-Ann joined Southend Wheelers aged 10 and started racing aged 13, competing across Time Trialling, Road Racing and her love of Track. She follows a long list of other successful club riders.
