The mind can be a complex and unpredictable place. It’s a delicate balance of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that shape our very being. But what happens when that balance is disrupted? Mental health struggles can be overwhelming, all-consuming, and often invisible to those around us. The weight of anxiety, depression, and other conditions can feel like an unrelenting force, dragging us down into a never-ending abyss. But the truth is, we are not alone in our struggles. It’s time to break the stigma surrounding mental health and start talking openly about the challenges we face. Because only by sharing our stories can we begin to heal and find a way forward.

Fortunately, there are many organizations out there that are dedicated to supporting those struggling with mental health. One such organization is the Canadian Mental Health Association, Muskoka Parry Sound, which provides a range of resources and services to help individuals in their journey towards mental wellness.

To continue their efforts in raising awareness and funds for mental health, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Muskoka Parry Sound is hosting the Spin the Lakes Cycle Tour for Mental Health. This event brings together cycling enthusiasts and mental health advocates alike to ride for a cause and make a positive impact in their community.

Cycling for Mental Health – Spin the Lakes Cycle Tour welcomes all riders to explore the picturesque Muskoka Lakes in real style. Join us for a fun-filled day in beautiful Muskoka while you raise money and awareness to bring mental health out into the open.

This year there are four routes to choose from, 175km, 102km, 57km and 20km, all starting and ending at Hidden Valley Resort, Huntsville, Ontario. You’ll ride the scenic countryside of Muskoka while passing the many lakes and towns.
