My Blind Side

I ride dirtbikes - As you all know. If there is a startline, you'll see the pink 35 standing there, waiting for the flag to drop.

Motocross and offroads own my weekends. I have no weekends available for  chilling in a swimming pool or hanging around in the mall, nor do I want open weekends for it. 

So the past weekend I had an offroad race.

GXCC, Round 2, Settlers 

I came into the weekend with a bang. Getting 6th gatepick. The girls were owning this race with 24 entries, including quads! Waiting for the 30 second board to pop up, I loosen my hands to prevent getting too nervous. The 30 second board arrived, hand on the head, bikes in neutral. The flag drops and all you hear is 20 bikes keeping it pinned for the first corner, entering the holeshot 6th, I knew I had to make some passes. By the 5th corner I got to 4th place. The track was so gnarly and well marked. Coming into the pits after a demanding lap of 50 kilometers, I knew this was going to be a difficult 3 hour race, but fun though. 

At the end of the day I got in 3 laps, which was about 150 kilometers in 3 hours. I was physically and emotionally, dead. Tired was an understatement. I ended the day with a 4th place finish, moving 2 places up from the last race. I am working to move up another two next time!

I'd like to thanks all my sponsors, KTM Raceworx, Louwrens Mahoney, EVS, USWE Sports, EKSbrand Goggles, Leadertread Mozambique, Just1 Helmets, HRP, Cycra and EMD.

 That's a wrap. Till next time!
