Cycling enthusiasts will be able to put their feet to pedals in the name of the Canadian Mental Health Association this Sunday.

That's when the CMHA's Ride Don't Hide event will be held.

Starting from the CN Centre, riders can choose from rides of six, 15, 30 and 50 kilometres. The two longest involve steeper hills and are for the more advanced riders.

The Ride Don't Hide movement began with Michael Schratter, a Vancouver school teacher living with bipolar disorder, spent almost a year and a half cycling 40,000 km around the globe.

Armed with only his bike, a knapsack and the determination to realize his dream of raising awareness and empowering those who experience mental illness, his story inspired millions of people and raised $100,000 for CMHA.

The event is open to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. Online registration is open through princegeorge.cmha.bc.ca until this Saturday for $50. Registration on the day of the event is $60 at the CN Centre parking lot. Registration opens at 8 a.m.
