Ted’s Lon Las Cymru Challenge

Ted Derisley is raising money for ANDYSMANCLUB

Cycling The Lôn Las Cymru solo in one go - It is a 400km Route with 15,000+ ft of elevation. The route will take me from Holyhead in the north of Wales to Cardiff in the south.

ANDYSMANCLUB facilitates groups where men aged 18 and above can speak openly about their issues in a non judgmental environment through shared experiences. Groups run nationwide every Monday 7pm except bank holidays and are completely volunteer-led with no charge to any man.

Story

This March, I’ll be cycling the full Lon Las Cymru route, from Holyhead to Cardiff, in one continuous ride.

That’s roughly 400 kilometres of Welsh mountains, valleys, and coastlines — powered only by two legs, two wheels, and a lot of determination.

I’m doing this to raise money for 'AndysManClub' , a charity that helps men across the UK open up about their mental health.

Every week, Andy’s Man Club runs free, nationwide support groups where men can talk, listen, and realise they’re not alone. Their work saves lives — but they rely entirely on donations to keep those doors open.

I’ve seen how hard it can be for men to talk about what they’re going through. This ride is my way of starting conversations, showing support, and reminding people that it’s okay to talk.

My goal:

I’m aiming to raise £1,000 to support Andy’s Man Club and help them reach even more men who need a safe space to talk.

ANDYSMANCLUB run peer-to-peer support groups for men aged 18+ going through storms in their lives, every Monday at 7 pm excluding bank holidays. Clubs are free to attend with no registration required.

The group was founded after the death by suicide of Andy Roberts. Andy gave no indication to his family that he was suicidal, as a result, his brother-in-law, Luke Ambler, and mother, Elaine Roberts, founded ANDYSMANCLUB in the hope that men who struggled to open up had a safe space to do so.

How you can help:

Donate whatever you can — every little bit adds up.

Talk to someone if you’re struggling — it really is okay to talk.

Thank you for your support,

Ted
