Cyclist dies in Great Victorian bike ride

Deborah Gray, 53, of Mt. Moriac had ridden the charity bike ride for 12 years. The Herald-Sun said Gray died from injuries received in the freak accident on Murray Valley Highway near Echuca.

Harry Barber, general manager of the ride, told the newspaper that a service was held in the meal tent Monday night.

“We talked about Deborah but we didn't use her name. She was, in a sense, the unknown soldier. She symbolised any one of us who could have been in that situation.”
