That is exactly what Liesl Laurie set out to do to get herself ready for Off the Beat 'n Track that's returning to the Big Red Barn in Irene on the 13th of April 2019. The event features routes for tiny tots, intermediate, advanced and competitive riders, plus a world-class music festival after the race and is set to be packed to capacity for its 3rd installment.
Liesl got some expert biking tips from her Breakfast with Martin Bester colleague, Elma Smit. Elma took Liesl through a few basic steps before letting the former Miss South Africa cycle on her.
