Ride Don’t Hide Windsor is back! We’re gathering together in person for 2023. So no one has to ride alone. So no one has to struggle with their mental health alone.

Ride Don’t Hide is more than a crowd, more than a community. We’re a movement for mental health.

Join us Sunday, June 25, 2023 for our 10th annual Ride Don't Hide Event. Help us celebrate mental health and ensure #NoOneRidesAlone.
