USA Cycling announced its women's 2015 Pan American Continental Road Championships roster on Tuesday and, with it, the return of two-time Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong.

This roster announcement marks Armstrong's return to Team USA, which ends a three-year hiatus.

"I am honored to have been selected as a member of the U.S. Pan American Championship Team and am thrilled to be representing Team USA in my first race back," she said. "Let the journey begin!"

Armstrong, who won back-to-back Olympic individual time trial gold medals in 2008 and 2012, as well as two ITT World titles in 2006 and 2009, will compete in the event at the Pan Am Continental Road Championships, which will be held May 5-10 in Leon, Mexico. She won the Pan American Continental Time Trial Championship in 2005.
