Baileys road to racing for the Womens New Zealand Team in Portugal. Fundraising and support for the young Kiwi.
Featherston, Wellington
Bailey has been selected to race for team NZ on the world stage, This is the 100th year of the iconic event and a very special occasion for this young Kiwi.
The ISDE often called the “Olympics of Enduro” is one of the toughest events in the world, with riders pushed to their physical and mental limits over six gruelling days of racing.
Bailey’s journey hasn’t been easy. After facing injury in 2025 and 8 months off, she showed immense determination and resilience to recover and come back stronger to win the 2026 New Zealand National Cross Country title and North Island title earlier this year. Through hard work, grit, and passion, she has earned the honour of wearing the silver fern.
Bailey is a student of Kuranui College in South Wairarapa. People who know her describe her as a humble, hardworking young woman who is chasing a big dream from a small, supportive community.
Getting there is a huge honour, but it also comes with significant travel cost, bike hire, race team support, parts & equipment, and many other costs likely to be $30,000 +
Unfortunately, New Zealand Athletes competing on the world stage generally must raise funds themselves to be able to fulfil their dreams of representing NZ overseas.
We need help to make it possible.
Every contribution, big or small, or even a share of this page will make a real difference.
Let’s get behind Bailey and show her that her community are proudly supporting her every step of the way 💚
I am Baileys mum. This opportunity for Bailey is an honour and we are so proud, but comes at huge financial cost to the family so we are asking for support to get her there and achieve her dreams to represent New Zealand.
Funds will go towards bike hire, flights, accommodation, parts, event support. If we don't reach the full target, funds will greatly reduce the cost to make sure Bailey can make it to Portugal and compete.
October is nearly here! 2 September 2026
Bailey has been practicing her tyre changes and working on her mechanical skills, she will need to be self reliant on the tracks in Portugal.
She is loving the Fe250 and has been out fundraising this past week at kapiti bike night, she loves meeting everyone and showing the little ones how the bikes work
