Ride for Tim

Ride for Tim

Anna Hughes

In January 2025, our friend Tim McKenna lost his battle with his mental health and took his life. He was a wonderful man, friend and father, and was an inspiration to many, through his cycling adventures and his openness about his mental health troubles.

In the summer of 2025 we will pay tribute to Tim by riding LEJOG, in the way he loved to ride: relaxed, self-supported, with plenty of great food and good beer.

Tim inspired people the length and breadth of the UK with his cycling journeys, and everyone is welcome to join this ride in his memory.

If you would like to join the ride, please see timcyclesthecoast.com for details.

We will also be holding an evening event in Kendal during the ride, with a few people giving talks about mental health and cycling, which is open to all to attend. It will also be streamed online.

We will be raising money for three charities that were close to Tim’s heart: Mind, Sustrans and Flight Free UK.
