Just a little self promotion for a 24 hour ride I’ll be doing next week on the Old Coach Road here in the Columbia Valley to raise awareness and donations for Heads Up Guys, a resource that provides men with information and practical tips to manage and prevent depression.

I promote the idea of doing hard things and movement through nature as great ways to support mental health, so why not head out and do laps of a local trail to practice this.

Come for a lap or two to share some miles and trials, and maybe join in some trail therapy as I raise awareness of this important issue.

What to do? Follow @myback40_podcast, @headsupguys, and @cvgreenways.

What to bring? Bring a donation, food, water, tools, and a good sense of humor and adventure. Conditions will be variable, so bring a fat bike with studs.

I hope to see you there.
