The Girl On A Bike

Description

Faced with endless feeling terrain Stage 5 saw me racing fearless at full throttle for many hours. It was a mentally and physically draining day, with endless horizons, no major landmarks or features and nothing but vast empty spaced desert meaning navigation was to take center stage. Thankfully with my strong navigational skills and some tweaks to my bike yesterday it meant for a faster and shorter day today... only 9.5 hours riding my KTM rally replica bike. During Day 5, Stage 5 of the Africa Eco Race to Dakar I was able to cover lots of mileage in record time with an average speed of 85km/h topping out at 116km/h. It was certainly a much faster rally stage than the days before even though it was still a relatively long off-road special stage of 404km. It is easy to think that having a faster speed means easier terrain; which yes that can be correct but faster speeds while maintaining correct navigation from a paper scroll roadbook and focusing on rapidly reading and reacting to the terrain whilst holding the bike straight... is a challenge in itself. I rode the day with some strong navigation, with Günter the giant Austrian and Tanika from Japan following behind in my path of dust. After a total of 592km I got to the shores of Dakhla full of energy, my body is feeling far stronger than I thought it was going to be, I’m feeling really comfortable on the bike and even my hands are going strong, which is a good sign of my riding and body position.
