Jeremy Ryan, cycling - October 2020
Jeremy Ryan was nominated for the October 2020 monthly award after success at the NSW Road Masters where he took out the Men's Masters 4 road race.
Ryan claimed the road race gold at Singleton on the back of a breakaway effort with Penrith rider Bob Brace, streaking away in the final kilometre to claim an unexpected victory and his first state masters crown.
Ryan fared brilliantly over the hilly course to break away with Brace inside the last 15 kilometres of the race and no one would have the stamina to catch the pair.
"I was definitely targeting the time trial but a couple of guys there are slightly out of my league at the moment," Ryan said
"You just do your own thing in the time trial but the road race has lots of variables.
"I certainly didn't think I was going to be a huge chance of winning but I always go out there giving it 100 per cent."
What made the win all the more satisfying for Ryan was that he won the gold against riders with plenty of support.
"Because I race in a small country club, for a lot of years I've been out there by myself. You go into a race where some riders have two or three club mates. I show up to these events with no help and you just have to chase everything," Ryan said.
