Zoe at the 3 nations cup in Netherlands, Oldenzaal

Thank you @RideForCharlie for the fantastic support to allow me to race at the @3nationscup in Netherlands, Oldenzaal. Luck wasn't on my side as annoyingly, I fell ill the day we travelled out.

Phoebe at the 3 Nations Cup in Oldenzaal

Thanks to Ride For Charlie, I was able to race at the 3 Nations Cup in Oldenzaal on a super fast and technical course, with a lot of short steep climbs and single track.

Alex at the 3 Nations Cup in Oldenzaal

A huge thank you to Ride for Charlie for supporting me at the first round of the 3 Nations Cup in Oldenzaal, Netherlands. I arrived to find a dry and technical course with plenty of steep punchy climbs.

Lucy in Chelva XC

It was an amazing opportunity and i am so happy to come away with 12th place after a long hot battle for the top 10 which i only just missed out on.

Louis at Chelva UCI XC

I just want to say a huge thank you to ride for Charlie for supporting my trip to Spain to compete in one of my first xc races, the Chelva UCI.

Billy Reed in Spain

I absolutely loved the time I had out in Spain, gaining technical skills, experience and understanding of European racing.

Tom Stephenson at UCI XC In Lanzarote

"Thanks to the support from Ride for Charlie, I had the opportunity to compete in my first UCI XC stage race. Lanzarote’s unique loose over hard volcanic terrain and sand, in combination with a high level of competition, provided the perfect environment to develop bike handling skills and fast paced group racing tactics. I loved the stage race format and enjoyed using each day’s course profile to my strengths to look for a competitive advantage and gain time on my rivals in the general classification”.

Kim at Club la Santa 4 stage MTB race

Despite the good results and UCI points my biggest win was my hand being pain free for 4 back to back days on the MTB when this time last year it hurt riding on the smooth Calpe roads.

Good luck to the GB cyclo cross team

Wishing the GB cyclo cross team lots of luck this weekend. Thank you for taking a little of @charlie_craig15 with you. So good to see lots of young riders that have been supported by rideforcharlie this winter.

Dan’s trip to France

In November I was lucky enough to be able to go to France for a weekend of 2 UCI races.  The standard was high including the French elite National Champion and many Belgian riders making the trip.  I really enjoyed the course on Saturday, a hard course with a long road climb as well as fast descending,

Diegem CX

Thank you very much Ride for Charlie for supporting me to have the opportunity to travel to Belgium to race cyclocross. The 1st of my races was in Diegem where there was a crazy atmosphere.

Lotta races Loenhout and Diegem

With the support from RideForCharlie I was able to race Loenhout and Diegem in Belgium. I had amazing time and I loved the racing with so many riders and huge crowds. With so many riders the racing was chaos and there was always someone to race making the racing really enjoyable. Thank you for the support.
