SA Road Championships!

02:57 | Posted by Ashleigh Moffatt |

I just didn’t have enough of Nelspruit and the beauty of the area that I had to go back and ride some more. Except this time I decided to enjoy the scenery from the road bike J
Race Numbers for Road Race


 

 I went and did SA Road Champs with my teammate Annemie Kruger, whos a roadie herself. So this was going to be an experience for me and I was excited to take on the challenge. I won’t lie I did ask Annemie for some roadie tips and what to expect on the race.

It was a hard route that contested of a 56km distance and 900m of climbing loop and we did it twice!
 

We went out of the start shoot with a pretty chilled pace which was very different for me, as I usually burst out of the start from cross-country. But I had to go and see what everyone was up too and went to the front of the bunch and put my foot down, this was fun leading the bunch for a little while until Ashleigh Moolman and Sharon Laws decided to attack on the first hill of the day and that was the last time I saw them hahaha J

The route was hard riding as the hills were early in the lap and it was big ring climbs and then the rest of the route was undulating and quite fast, so was tough racing but I had fun and had a good experience! I enjoyed working as a team with Annemie was lots of fun!

Well done to my teammate Annemie Kruger for some great racing both in the Time Trial and Road race!! J

Thank you to everyone for all the support, I think I will be sticking to my mountain biking haha J
