"A big thanks to Ride For Charlie. I had a great time racing the famous Koppenberg CX. Although I didn’t get the result I wanted due to a few mechanical issues and crashes, it was a really great experience and I learned lots.
Thank you so much for making it possible."

Thank you Ben.
"Recently I was able to make the trip to Belgium thanks to the support of rideforcharlie. I raced the super prestige in ruddervoode and the brutal koppenbergcross. I did these races last year as a junior but it was a completely new experience racing as a first year u23. At the super prestige in ruddervoode there was no u23 category so I was racing with the elites. The atmosphere was amazing on the super fast course there. Koppenberg was a completely different course to ruddervoode and was a tough day out. I had some bad luck with gears which meant I didn’t get the result I wanted but still learnt a lot. I’m really grateful for the support from rideforcharlie as this trip wouldn’t of been possible without there support.
Thank you so much for the support"
Best regards

"Recently I raced Koppenbergcross in Belgium which was such an amazing experience once again after I went to the same event the previous year. The crowds were massive and the racing was a completely different level which helps to push me even further. This trip has opened my eyes once again to the different culture of cyclocross abroad and I couldn’t have done it without the help of Ride For Charlie."
Thanks Seb

"Last weekend I was fortunate enough to be given a spot at Tabor World Cup in the Czech Republic. On Friday evening I flew with my two bikes to Prague, due to the drive from home to Tabor taking 16 hours!
Arriving early allowed for a leg loosening spin on Saturday before dialing in the course ahead of the big race. The course was slick and ran super fast despite the fair amount of climbing completed each lap.
The race itself didn't quite go to plan, being involved in two crashes in the first half a lap, pushing me towards the back of the field. I had to fight to make my way back through the field from 50th up to 33rd. By 2 to go I found myself in a group of riders who battled around the race. After spending energy early in the race to catch back on, in the last lap I lost contact with the front of my group and finished in 39th place. Whilst I'm happy with my ride I would have liked to have placed higher but its a long season and I'm excited to see what the rest of the season holds.
The chance to travel to and race in Czech Republic is something I will always remember thanks to Ride for Charlie who enabled me to accept the spot and race at the Tabor World Cup. For that I'm incredibly greatful."

Well done, fingers crossed for a better placing in the future. I remember my son riding at Tabor lots of years ago. x
Well done Xan, I was cheering you on each time I saw your name on the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully your place will grid you a little higher for the next race. 👍
Well done Xan , what an experience!
Thank you @cx_oli
"This weekend I went to Ireland to race the @vergesport_uk_irl @crossclonmel , it was a fantastic experience and a great weekend that I learned a lot from, I had 4 various mechanicals throughout the race which meant the chasing group caught me, leading to some heated final laps! I could not have raced if I did not receive the @rideforcharlie funding so I am extremely grateful."
