Ethan in Spain

July 18, 2022

I had an amazing time in my first international race . Gaining a lot of experience and enjoyed myself whilst out there. Really enjoyed the more technical course out in Spain. Had a good race starting from the back of the grid and working myself up to 23rd by the end of my race. Massive thanks to ride for Charlie for this amazing opportunity hopefully more like these to come.

Elena in Lenzerheide

July 15, 2022

I had such a nice time exploring the World Cup course and the beautiful scenery around Lenzerheide. I had a bit of a tough time in the race itself so I didn't put out my best performance but I learned a lot and am so grateful to Ride for Charlie for the support to allow me the opportunity to experience an U23 World Cup.

Rory in Lenzerhyde

July 14, 2022

A great time again away at another World Cup in lenzerhyde this time. Really fun track with lots of fans there. Not my best race but not my worst and still happy how I raced and rode the track. Great to see Nick out there too cheering us on. Massive thanks to ride for Charlie with helping out on this World Cup trip and all the world cups this season. Much appreciated!

Rory at the World Cup

June 23, 2022

"Another great trip to Leogang for my second World Cup of the season. Course was very wet and slippy in practise but dried almost completely out by the race. Didn’t have the best race for me. After a good start, I fell back and struggled on a very steep, energy sapping course. Still great to get another world cup in the books and massive thanks to @rideforcharlie for helping me fund this trip"

James in Belgium Ardennes

June 2, 2022

I had a really good time out in the Belgium Ardennes racing my first mountain bike stage race, the race lasted 4 days and was full gas from the off with a strong field and very hilly course, I had mixed results in the stages with some punctures on stage 3 costing me time, but finishing off stage 4 with my best ride of the week but absolutely empty. Big thanks to Ride for Charlie for the support to get to the start line. Hope to get back to this race next year.
