She's bold, charging ahead at full speed, and getting comfortable with the bike too if the way she first slows to go around turns is any indication, then fishtails when she goes too quickly before figuring it out for the most part.

She wonders if they'll run out of road. She only stops when her arms are numb halfway up to her elbows, and the muscles of her legs are still humming even when she slows and turns off to a side, cutting the engine and letting it glide the last few feet on gravel until she puts her boot down to catch it.
