An elite Coast cyclist has proven returning to competition really is just like riding a bike.
In her comeback race after requiring surgery on her knee, Ruby Roseman-Gannon has taken out the inaugural womenâs Gibraltar to Inverell race.
Roseman-Gannon, along with her ARA Sunshine Coast Pro Racing men and womenâs teammates, completed what was known as the toughest one-day cycling event in Australia.
Roseman-Gannon took out first place in the NRS leaderâs jersey, ahead of Josie Talbot (Camden CC) and Peta Mullens (Roxsolt Liv SRAM).
Roseman-Gannon said it came down to the final corner but thanked the team for their support which helped her claim victory in the 136.6km race.
