Australian GS rider Andrea Box went the long way round to clinch her spot in the Australian GS Trophy team. Her story is a little bit fun and a lot inspirational.

Author and Australian team rider, Andrea Box.

As I prepare for the BMW GS Trophy in New Zealand I’m finding it hard to believe I’m actually going.

I’d always doubted my riding a little and reassured myself it didn’t matter about my speed, so long as I got to the end of the track. I’ve been lucky enough to learn to ride chasing some incredible riders through Victoria’s high country and my place at the back of the pack had become a familiar and comfortable spot.
