"Great experience away in the Netherlands for the European champs. It was my first race as a u23 so was just looking to gain some valuable experience and do my best. The pace was crazy fast on a very dry and quick course and was full gas the whole way. After starting on the last row I was really happy to finish 19th. Huge thanks to Ride For Charlie for making this trip possible and hopefully can get away soon to race again. 💛💛💛"

"I am now a first-year under 23 and therefore definitely thrown in at the deep end racing at the European Championships but it was awesome to race with the best in Europe and to race on the incredibly fast and technical course. I didn’t have a great start and crashed towards the end of the first lap which cost me lots of places which were ultimately very difficult to get back, but I continued to go full gas all race and finish in the highest position possible knowing that I had the support of Charlie behind me. Thank you so much to Ride for Charlie for the support to make it possible for me to compete in this amazing race."

"Thank you so much to RideForCharlie for supporting me this weekend at the U23 European championships in the Netherlands. I had a brilliant race, finishing 13th in a really fast, brutal race with very few places to try and recover. This is my best international result and another great experience to use and build on for next time. The trip was made possible with the support from RideForCharlie which I’m very grateful for. "

"Thank you very much to RideForCharlie for supporting me on my weekend in Sweden at the Stockholm UCI races. It was great to be able to race abroad again, riding against some strong international competition. The course was brilliant with a mix of technical off-camber banks, rutted corners, steep descents, hurdles and a running section. I finished 9th on Saturday then improved my performance to get 7th on Sunday. It was a fantastic weekend and I am really grateful to RideforCharlie for their support which meant I could get this much needed international experience. I felt proud to be racing with the support of RideForCharlie behind me."

#rideforcharlie Gravel and Cobbles DIY Ride
Whilst riding the #dirtykanzelled recently we thought of Charlie and came up with an idea of a slightly different slant on that concept and something befitting of Charlie and the #rideforcharlie Foundation.
We have created a really challenging route of some of the toughest roads on the Peaks/Cheshire border interspersed with gravel and cobbled sectors, we recced the route a few weeks back and have since made a few tweaks.
Last Saturday we rode the completed route in full along with every element the weather could throw at us.
Ride Details
Start/Finish in Pott Shrigley
7800ft/2500M of climbing and descending
12 Sectors of gravel, single-track or cobbles
~66Miles/100KM

I went over to switzerland to get a race in before the end of the cross country season. It was a bit of a shock to the system considering I hadn’t raced in ages because of lockdown. I was very nervous before my race as I had no clue what to expect. The course was great but super tough and I ended up having a good race. I definitely learnt a lot from it and I can’t wait to get back to normal racing again!
Thanks so much again,
Emily

We hope everyone has been enjoying riding their bikes over these last few months.
Rideforcharlie had selected 3 teams to ride the youth mtb championships but due to the present situation the race was cancelled.
Thank you to all those young atheletes that had applied .
We hope that next year the event will go ahead.
We have had a few applicants for summer mtb and enduro but this has also been postponed.
Our cyclo cross applications will be open from August. Please check the web site for dates. We hope to hear from all ages and abilities to experience cyclo cross in Europe.
However all of this depends on the government guidelines.
We also like to hear from anyone with other creative ideas.
Best wishes to you all.
Charlie's mum sarah xxxx💛
