Ride Don’t Hide 2018 Registration Open!

On Sunday, June 24, hundreds of cyclists and walkers will take to the Caledon Hills for Ride Don’t Hide, a community fundraising bike ride and walk for the Canadian Mental Health Association Peel Dufferin.

Now in it’s 5th year in Caledon, over 300 cyclists, walkers and their families are expected to once again tackle 4 picturesque cycling routes.  New for 2018, we have added a 5km or 10km walk along the Caledon Trail to raise awareness, fight stigma, and support CMHA Peel Dufferin’s youth mental health and awareness programs.

Over the last four years Ride Don’t Hide funds have supported our Youth Net program – helping to provide a safe space for young people to talk about their mental health, substance use and anxiety. Last year alone Youth Net reached over 5,000 young people through workshops, wellness displays and in-school presentations, ensuring youth know where to find help when they need it.

Date: Sunday, June 24, 2018

​Location: All routes will leave from the Lloyd Wilson Centennial Arena (15551 McLaughlin Road, Inglewood, ON L7C 1J5). The closest major intersection is McLaughlin Road and Olde Base Line Road.
