3 teams to race the Youth European championships
This year rideforcharlie supported 3 teams to race the Youth European championships.
This was one event Charlie was looking forward to.
Here are a few words from Cameron on his experience.
“I am really grateful for the Ride for Charlie funding, which helped me race in Sweden at the Youth European Mountain Bike Championships. Over the week, i experienced three events with my team: a short time trial, a team relay around the full lap and the main cross country race. The course was probably the best I have ridden, and it was interesting to see it evolve throughout the week. All of the technical features were challenging and exciting. Following a good team relay lap I was happy with my gridding. However, I had a crash in traffic on the first lap. After I got back on I was pleased to make up fifty places. I really enjoyed racing at a higher level and in a team for a week and hope I can compete in similar events in the future.”
