Mental Health Awareness Ride

Join us for a morning ride of community connection, to bring Mental Health into the open. 

As a collective we will aim to ride a set amount of kms, with each person contribution contributing to the total. If you ride 1km or 50km it I'll counts, just like everyone making an effort to raise the awareness of Mental Health and remove the stigma. We have all been affected by mental health or know someone that has, by riding with the crew from the "On Track" program you are helping to demonstrate that better Mental Health is important, and we can navigate the challenges by riding side by side. 

The ride will take place on the trails the surround The Edmund Rice Community Service location at Mt Atkinson. The route will have a 2km and 4km choice. You just ride what you want and how far you want at your pace. It's not a race....but you can go fast if you want. At 1pm each kilometre will be tallied up so we will celebrate how many k's we have been able to ride together. The celebration will continue with a free lunch around the campfire and more casual chats. 

The ride is FREE to participate in.
