‘Muddy, tired, but happy’ – Tiffany Cromwell claims a second Australian elite women’s gravel title at Ponderosa Pines

In what ended up being a wet and muddy day of racing at South Australia’s Ponderosa Pines, Tiffany Cromwell rode away from her rivals early to claim a second elite women’s Australian gravel title.

Defending champion Cromwell took off solo early in the 123km elite women’s race at the AusCycling National Gravel Championships on Saturday, pulling out the gap to three minutes with 70 km to go, and by the finish line, she had stretched the gap to her nearest rival to 20 minutes, crossing the line in 4:53:21.
