🏁SA Off-Roads (SAORC) Race Report
Rd 5 - Sprints - Keilira, SA
A late night prepping the bike, a foggy start, wet 4WD track in with Ben’s capable driving avoiding us getting the trailer bogged. He put my “700” for the women’s class race number plates back on & I geared up for a big day! Loved lining up with the women for sight lap, positive vibes 💫 5.4km track, I took off into a few sandy corners where the 450 did a great job, I came upon a massive log with a long and & twisty chicken route, had to manoeuvre the bike around a tree for that! Sandy course & more log chicken routes & very tights scrub at the end but overall nothing too wild. I felt ok & prepped for the race sprints to start. Pretty much a Lap every 45min, possibly 10 for the day sounded like a lot! I just took it 1 lap at a time. Rode better the first race lap but still dropped the bike a couple of times. Another lap I got caught right up into a tree, had tried going a bit faster into the tight section where the bars scraped trunks on both sides but it was a little slick, I lost traction & scratched up the top of my right fender on a tree. 1 lap at a time. Ben out filming a couple sections or being there in the pits for support made the day easier. I was very excited to have a few laps staying upright after the crashes. I enjoyed the manageable length of the technical course. By the 9th sprint I was fatiguing and struggled with energy so glad it was the last! My back held up well, a bit sore but nothing I couldn’t manage. Overall a success and the first off roads race I’d felt not totally out of my depth, definitely helped being looked after and having a driver on the way up!
