As the days grow longer and the weather warms, Rural Riders is geared up for another summer of cycling.

It’s all about connection, movement, and improving our mental health.

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme is Top Up Together, and you can certainly do that with your local Rural Riders crew.

 

Rural Riders provides the opportunity for farmers and growers to get off farm, and go for a mountain bike ride with like minded individuals. “Let’s ride, chat, and recharge - together.”

Runs until Easter 2026
