April 24th saw 16 women & girls and 5 sidecar teams ride the Keyneton MCC's Mountain Man Trial at Vine Vale in the Barossa, with blue skies and 12 great sections set by Haydon Ahrens greeting the 45 total riders on the day, with the catering done on the day by Team K-Raft and helpers!
Sofie Kraft and Chris Schultz & Stuart Gerhardy were the big winners on the day, with the most pleasing thing being 11 junior girls suiting up for the day, with 8 of the 11 being under 12 years of age and on mid or small wheeled bikes - what a future trials look to have!
