“Thank you RideForCharlie for helping to make my trip to Bilbao possible. I have had a great time racing the cross duathlon at the ETU Multi sport championships where I came 6th in my category and 23rd out of 130 across the field. I have waited 2 years for the championships to go ahead after them being cancelled twice due to covid so it was great for it to finally go ahead. It was a very tough race with a steep 8k run first, followed by a 20k MTB route which  consisted of long climbs and technical descents and then finally finishing on a 3k run. I had a lot of fun and gained experience that I can use in future races.

Me and Charlie rode, trained but most importantly always had fun together. When I’m riding and racing I know Charlie is with me and that he would also enjoy what I am doing and I hope to make him proud.

Thank you again to Sarah and Nick for the support from RideForCharlie and also the help and advice you give me.”
