We’ve heard from so many families and friends planning to join us for Peaks, Pedals & Pints, and it’s time to make it official and register!

And if you can’t make it in person because you’re out of town, out of state, or already committed elsewhere, you can still be part of the day through virtual participation or by creating your own peer-to-peer fundraiser to support our mission.

Every registration and every dollar helps get more kids off the couch, outside, and building confidence through outdoor adventure 🧡

May is both Mental Health Awareness Month and National Bike Month — a pretty perfect combination if you ask us. 🚲💚

Research continues to show the powerful impact outdoor recreation can have on kids’ physical and mental wellbeing, from reducing stress and anxiety to building confidence, resilience, and connection.

That’s why creating access to the outdoors matters.

Every ride, trail, and outdoor experience has the potential to change a child’s future.

Want to support the mission?
Join us on June 7th, donate, or participate virtually from wherever you are. If you can’t be there in person, you can still help us get more kids off the couch and outside.
