A scenic experience through the heart of the Hudson Valley.

Few rides offer participants the opportunity to both work hard for a worthwhile cause while in such picturesque surroundings. Showcasing the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley, The Ride for Mental Health offers a variety of routes in a stunning setting. The Ride for Mental Health is one of the first charity bike rides in the country where the proceeds will go to fund education, research and treatment of mental illness including anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse. Come join us for a weekend of fully supported, great riding over terrific country roads with plenty of rest stops. Available rides include 25 miles, 50 miles (north) or 50 miles (south) and 100 miles (combined north and south routes: only on Saturday), as well as a 14 mile rail trail ride.
