Edna Sayers

Edna Sayers (1912–1996) was an Australian cyclist who held records for long distance cycling, most notably the fastest time from Goulburn to Sydney.

[4][5] While the match was billed as the "Ladies interstate challenge", the Victorian Elsa Barbour decided not to compete as neither Sayers nor the other NSW cyclists were members of a registered club.

The race however was held on public roads and in 1932 Lilian Thorpe set a time for the then course from Goulburn to Enfield of 9 hours 52 minutes.

Sayers time for the 192 miles (309 km) from Canberra to Sydney was 11 hours, 0 minutes and 8 seconds.

[11] Sayers worked at a woollen mill in Marrickville and continued to live in Earlwood until the 1970s when she moved to Budgewoi.
