Daisy travels to Huskvarna in Sweden for the European Youth MTB XC Championships

One of our three teams rideforcharlie supported at the Youth mountain bike championships.

“A huge thank you to Ride For Charlie for supporting me to travel out to Huskvarna in Sweden for the European Youth MTB XC Championships. This was my last chance to race this event, so I went in feeling very excited. The racing was amazing. In the ITT I claimed P36 out of 140 girls, meaning that I qualified for the short track on Thursday. The team relay the next day didn’t go as planned. A mechanical by my teammate on lap 1 meant that I had clear track in front of me so I was able to push hard. I pushed a little too hard and ended up crashing. I suffered the consequences of this crash for the rest of the week. A very wet short track made for a hard race, and a puncture in the last lap of the XC set me back. Overall it was such a cool experience racing out in Sweden with the support of Ride For Charlie, without whom it wouldn’t be possible.”
