The 22-year-old is one of few women who compete in the male dominated Kenya National Motocross Championship. Not surprising, she was named the Lady Rider of the Year. However, since her father Jimmy Wahome noticed her interest in riding and told her to give it a try, Maxine has never looked back. She trains with her cousins Tai Wahome, Neo Wahome, Dylan Mutahi, Kigen Kiplagat and Nandi Kiplagat, another lady rider, on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Since she won Lady Rider of the Year in 2013, Maxine has been giving her rivals, chiefly men, a run for their money.
