Ayesha Rosena Anna McGowan (born April 2, 1987) is an American professional racing cyclist who currently rides for UCI Women's World Team Liv AlUla Jayco.

[3] Unlike many professional cyclists who begin racing competitively at a young age, McGowan only started cycling as a commuter student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

After graduation in 2010, she moved to Brooklyn, where she worked as a daycare teacher and taught private music lessons for five years.

Later that same year, she took her maiden victory in the Category 4 race at the New York State Criterium Championships in White Plains.

[2][7] This debut came in early September, when McGowan was selected for the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l'Ardèche.
