Thought this was such a lovely memory xxx
Thank you x Sam Ryland

I’d like to let you know of my intentions to raise money for rideforcharlie at the 100km Scott mtb marathon.
Before I started riding I remember being on the feed stations of the mtb marathons confused on how a kid could be at the front with adults much older behind, the next time I saw Charlie was at my 2nd National xc race in Newnham Park. I was stood at the bottom of 1 of the A lines, where I was baffled how anyone would be able to ride down it, when Nick closely followed by Charlie came down making it look a ease. Then the first time I properly got to meet Charlie was at the Scott mtb marathon in Minehead 2016. I saw him hoping up and down the steps on his mini bike and again I was amazed, later on that day Dec Oldham, Finn and Alfie Davies were racing around the trees and Charlie and I joined in. Considering I’d seen him racing at the front of nationals I was pleasently surprised with how he would still have fun with the youngsters and I. Through the memory of Charlie I’ve pushed and trained hard and fully beleive if it wasn’t for his legacy I wouldn’t be as fast as I am today, seeing my rideforcharlie sticker on my frame always gives me that extra boost to put all my effort in as he did.
I would be honoured to represent rideforcharlie at the 100km Scott mtb marathon round and will do everything I can to raise as much money and awareness for a foundation so close to my heart.
Thanks, Sam #rideforcharlie <3 ... See MoreSee Less
