The 23-year-old added the road race victory to her win in Thursday’s time trial.
After sitting safely in the peloton for most of the race, while EF Education-Oatly team-mate Henrietta Christie marked any attacks upfront, Cadzow pushed off the front of the pack and used her undoubted climbing skills to clear away to win in 3:14.42.
She finished 24 seconds clear of Lidl-Trek WorldTour professional and Paris Olympic team-mate, Niamh Fisher-Black who edged Hamilton policewoman and UCI Esports World Champion, Kate McCarthy.
Southland’s Rhylee Akeroyd claimed the under-23 title.
The final day of the championships today will feature the under-23 and elite men’s road race over 190km.
