Here are some words from Corran Carrick-Anderson from his recent #RideForCharlie supported trip:
I went to the Alps, thanks to the support from Ride for Charlie, to get some experience racing against a European field.
I was racing in two races whilst away, in the youth category – an Italian International Series race and a Swiss Bike Cup. In between these, I had the opportunity to train with the Junior GB and Scottish Cycling teams in Pila, which was great as I got a glimpse of what it would be like to be part of the Junior Programme. Whilst I was there I was also able to practice the course for the European Youth Mountain Bike Championships which take place in August, as well as get some good training in.
In the races, I had a challenge from the start as I was always gridded at the back due to having no series points. I managed to move up quickly in the Italian race and broke away with one other boy on the first lap. We stayed together for almost 3 laps but I started struggling partially due to the heat and altitude, and dropped back. I was overtaken by one other boy on the last lap and finished in 3rd, a result I was really happy with and started my week off well.
I had a good start to the Swiss Cup, moving up from 86th to top 15 in the first part of the lap, but unfortunately crashed and seemed to lose my rhythm and energy and struggled from there on. I learnt a lot from this race especially though, and this should really help me for when I go back to Pila for the European Championships. I know to try not to give too much at the start and be unable to recover.
None of this experience would have been possible without the help from Ride For Charlie and hopefully I can learn so much from this in memory of Charlie.

Great results mate🤘🤘👌💪
I have just got back from racing cross Duathlon at the European Championships for the GB Age Group Team in Târgu Mureş, Romania.
I had an amazing time and want to thank Rideforcharlie for supporting me. Nick and Sarah give me support and help with lots of things all the time and this means so much to me but the funding from Rideforcharlie made a huge difference to my trip.
I had never raced abroad before and this experience has been better than I could have imagined. I have learnt so much from competing in Europe and was able to use all the things I learnt from Charlie. Such as training, preparing and racing in bigger competitions. I really miss talking to and sharing things with Charlie but I know he was racing with me in my race in Sovata. I wanted to make Charlie proud and I hope he was.
I was really pleased with my overall result of 1st U19, 2nd U24 and top 20 overall. But the thing I am most pleased and proud of is knowing I trained and prepared well and raced the best I could on the day for Charlie. 💛💛
Thankyou Rideforcharlie 💛💛
