Harry racing the Bourain junior world series

It was a crazy experience racing the Bourain junior world series, I have never experienced racing against that many people all jostling for postion.

Leo at the UCI gravel world series

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

Challenging race for Zoe

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.

Jacob in Houffalize at the Three Nations Cup

Thank you Ride for Charlie for making the trip to The 3 Nations MTB race in Houffilize possible. It was a technical course which I thoroughly enjoyed . I’ve never been to Belgium before and so this was a great experience.

Alex at the 3 Nations Cup in Houffalize

Thank you to Ride for Charlie for supporting my latest trip to the 3Nations Cup in Houffalize, Belgium. We were met with a very technical and steep course that was covered in roots and rocks.

Phoebe at the 3 nations cup in Houfallize

Thanks to ride for Charlie, I was able to race at the 3 nations cup in Houfallize, which was a great experience and one of the most technical courses I've raced on.

Anna takes on the World Cup

After a busy season of National races, I decided it was time to have a go at a World Cup. As my first unsupported race abroad there were plenty of logistics to work out, but I finally made it to Lenzerheide where I met up with Sam Chisholm to share the rest of the trip.

Ella at MTB World Cup in Leogang

Recently I travelled to the MTB World Cup in Leogang, Austria. The trip started with a bit of drama when our flights were cancelled the day before my first race and we ended up driving 16 hours to get there but this all added to the adventure!

Sam at La Thuile HC and Lenzerheide world cup

I had an amazing trip to Europe racing La Thuile HC and Lenzerheide world cup, what an experience with so many adventures on the way and so grateful for the support of Ride for Charlie making it possible.

Kacey at the Junior World Series

A huge thank you to Ride for Charlie for supporting me at my first Junior World Series out in Italy. It was an amazing experience to race against some of the best girls around and on such a technical course.
