Thanks to @rideforcharlie for supporting me again in doing a round of the Exact Cross series in Zonnebeke last weekend. The race was super fast on a completely frozen track where you had to trust your equipment and ability to keep you upright!
Huge thanks to Ride For Charlie for supporting me to race on the continent for the first time. I travelled to Belgium to race in the LRC League in Diksmuide, finishing 7th in a field of 20 riders
In December I was lucky enough to spend a weekend in Belgium, doing a race on the Saturday then heading down to Namur to watch the World Cup on the Sunday. It was such an incredible experience and I’ve learned so much as a rider that I can take forward to next season and beyond.
Couldn’t ask for more, the experience the racing, food and drink!
Couldn’t thank @rideforcharlie enough to of been given the opportunity to race against the best riders in Belgium, but also be part of the atmosphere and watch one of the hardest cyclocross courses ever at the Namur World Cup.
Thank you very much to Ride for Charlie for helping me get over to Belgium to experience racing at the top level. I was able to race at Loenhout, Baal and a national level race as well as getting to watch Diegem.
I would to thank Ride for Charlie for the opportunity to race Belgium for the first time over the Kerstperiod. It was an amazing experience racing against not only Belgium but Italian, French and German riders and loved every minute of it on a great course.
With the support of Ride for Charlie I recently travelled to Belgium for the Kerstperiod cyclocross races Superprestige Heusden Zolder, Superprestige Diegem night race, and the Exact Cross Loenhout.
Rideforcharlie funding has supported me on 2 trips to Europe over this cross season with 5 races including SuperPrestiege, X2O Badkamers,
A big thank you to Ride for Charlie for helping make my trip to Belgium possible. It was a fantastic opportunity and an amazing experience racing in front of the Belgian crowds,
Charlie was a special boy who went to sleep on Friday the 20 January and didn’t wake up, he was 15. He left his family and friends in a state of shock and an incredible hole in our hearts. We miss him more every day.
Our aim is to support young off road cyclists,who are or would have been inspired by Charlie to follow in his pedal strokes. Our vision is to allocate funding to self motivated young individuals, who will be appraised for eligibility by the trustees.
We want to hear from young boys and girls age 14 and above who ride off- road bikes and have been inspired by stories of Charlie and his life.
