"It’s been 6 years since I last raced so I still have a lot of equipment to test, finding my groove and really getting into racing form. I am having a lot of fun and want to keep on doing so! Cheers to the next step in this incredible and exciting journey! Appreciate all of the amazing support ❤️🙏🏻," she added.
