Come take part in Ride Don't Hide to support mental health.

WOODSTOCK - Help put an end to the stigma surrounding mental health with CMHA Oxford at this years 7th annual Ride Don't Hide.

"This ride was started by a gentleman who lives and still rides in the Vancouver ride but did ride his bike around the world and when he completed that, the attention it created led him to find Ride Don't Hide."

The event is on June 24th in the stage area of the Market Centre parking lot. All riders are expected to wear a helmet and obey traffic laws. The schedule for the day is as follows:

McMahon adds what's so important about the event.
