Ben said: "I've always seen travel as more than just exploration; it's a profound journey of self-discovery and growth.

"After countless adventures across Europe and the Americas, embarking on a solo cycling expedition around the globe felt like the ultimate challenge.

"Pairing this with supporting Andy's Man Club, a charity close to my heart, not only allows me to push my limits but also sheds light on the crucial issue of mental health, and how exercise, particularly cycling can loosen that burden.

"Through this journey, I aim to inspire others to confront their challenges while raising essential funds for a cause that truly matters.

"And let's not forget the added perk of indulging in guilt-free meals while experiencing the world in its raw, albeit sweaty, beauty."
