Despite two national runner up finishes in Australia, a third place overall finish at the world enduro championships, a national French Championship, leading Australian to the Women's ISDE Trophy and topping the individual honours in the Women's class at the ISDE, Gardiner finds herself back at work in her home town in New South Wales, working full time over the off season in order to save enough money to do it all again in 2014
"For now, it is back to reality driving my big dump-truck for JK Williams to save again for next years adventure." Gardiner told fullnoise.com.au in a interview that was posted up on the site yesterday. "I cannot thank my work for the amazing opportunities they are allowing me to experience while still coming home to a secure job.
While her male counterparts are busy signing contracts, recovering from injuries sustained in 2013 or already starting their preparations for the 2014 season, Jessica is well into negotiating her 2014 deals that will once again see her racing both internationally and domestically next year, though at this point in time she is not able to give to much away.
"Basically I can't release to much about 2014 as nothing is final yet, although most definitely you will be able to find me once again competing in as many Australian Nationals as possible, the A4DE and the World Enduro Championships again," Gardiner concluded.
