Huge thank you to RideforCharlie for funding my first 2 races on the continent. After a last-minute red light on louenhout, I was lucky enough to get an entry for kerniel. The course was slick which resulted in close racing and I came away with 8th overall elite women.

Dublin elite world cup for Cat

A massive thank you to RideforCharlie for their support in funding to help me get over to Ireland to race my first elite world cup in Dublin.  Not the best race for me with mechanicals placing me 18th, but was an amazing experience and took a lot away from the race. Thanks again the work you do for this sport to help young riders is really appreciated.

Rory Mcguire in Belgium

Another really good trip out to Belgium. I did 4 races on some really good courses. Unfortunately I had some problems with my hips so I had to come back bit early but still a solid few races. Thanks so much to ride for Charlie for helping me get out to Belgium again and being so supportive!

European Tour for Ben

I spent 11 days abroad and raced 4 times including the European championships, Koppenberg, Ruddervoorde and Massmechelen World Cup. This block was cut short due to injury leaving me with no notable results. I am grateful to Ride For Charlie for supporting me on my journey. Lessons learnt, friends made.

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.

Seb at Koppenbergcross

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.

Oli at the UCI Clonmel Cross

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.

Libby at UCI Clonmel Cross

This weekend I raced the UCI Clonmel Cross in Ireland and it was my first muddy and technical race of the season. Last year I rode this race in very sunny and dry conditions but this year it was good to face the mud! Racing in the elite women's category it was great to come 3rd and then 1st junior. This race for me wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of Ride For Charlie - thank you.

Joe at the Clonmel UCI Cross

Big Thankyou to RideForCharlie for supporting my trip to race in Ireland at the Clonmel UCI Cross. The first muddy and slippy race of the season for me. The conditions changed every lap due to the weather making it very slippery in places. I am happy to come away with 5th place too after a good battle! This trip wouldn’t have been possible without the support from RideForCharlie
