Thank you @harry.h_xc
"It was a crazy experience racing the Bourain junior world series, I have never experienced racing against that many people all jostling for postion. We had to walk the first climb due to bottlenecking and the technicality of the course. The heat was also a major factor and caused me to fade at the end of the race, I cracked a rim in practice so played the descents a bit more cautiously but still managed to hold my own through the technical rocky descents, gap jumps snd blown out corners. Overall, I have learnt lots from this race and can't thank ride for charlie enough as without them it wouldn't have been possible."

Thank you @leowhite._
"Thanks to Ride for Charlie I made the trip to Italy to take part in the final round of the UCI gravel world series. My goal was to try and qualify for the world champs, which I just missed out on, but I'm pleased to have come so close in what was one of the hardest races I've done. It was an amazing experience on terrain which was new to me and I'm really grateful for the opportunity'

Thank you @zoemroche
"Thank you, Ride for Charlie, for making the trip happen. With a great technical course with lots of technical ups and downs. Unluckily on the first lap I smashed my wheel. With quite a lot of air lost I had to make a pit stop which lost me loads of time on the second lap, being an already tough course, after the change i found it hard to come back however I am very happy to just have finished. Lots of confidence was gained while riding these challenging courses as well as lots of things learnt. Hope to be back for some more!"

To add yours just add the #rideforcharlie hashtag on your instagram pictures.
Charlie was a special boy who went to sleep on Friday the 20 January and didn’t wake up, he was 15. He left his family and friends in a state of shock and an incredible hole in our hearts. We miss him more every day.
Our aim is to support young off road cyclists,who are or would have been inspired by Charlie to follow in his pedal strokes. Our vision is to allocate funding to self motivated young individuals, who will be appraised for eligibility by the trustees.
We want to hear from young boys and girls age 14 and above who ride off- road bikes and have been inspired by stories of Charlie and his life.
