- see all dates
Repeating every days through September 30, 2020.
Various times
Age: All
Price: Free

Show your support for children's mental health by riding during a two-week time frame. You can ride during this 17-day period on your own schedule, by yourself or with others, indoors on a stationary bike/Peleton or outside on the bike of your choice. 

If you are a non-biker, you can join the event with a walk, run, or hike — or just simply share information about Cycle of Support on social media and help raise funds to support children's mental health services.

If you’re riding outdoors, please maintain social distancing protocols, and wear a mask to keep everyone safe. However you choose to support children's mental health this year, thank you on behalf of the kids who have been profoundly impacted by COVID-19.

How to Ride and Fundraise
