Ride Report 4th May 2012
After only just over 7 months of riding, Talia has begun racing. She still has a long way to go, but it is already obvious that she has a rather promising future in the sport. Her first ever race was Club Round 1 at Awakaponga, Whakatane. She seemed somewhat calm and was consistent throughout the day, placing 2nd in the first race, and 3rd in the third race, unfortunately she was unable to finish the 2nd race due to a unlucky crash that resulted in her bike not starting until the end of the race. Ignoring this setback, the day was successful. Last week she attended the Ardmore Schools Competition, but luck was not on her side, crashing on the first lap of the first race, and had to be rushed to the hospital with the fear of a broken elbow. Thankfully this was not the case, but she will be out of riding for at least a few weeks. She is extremely eager get back on the bike as soon as she can. This is only the beginning for Talia, and we are looking forward to what the future holds.
