Riders for Glen
Recently, the Orange County Bike Club was tragically touched by the loss of a good friend and fellow cyclist due to his battle with depression and mental illness. Glen is the inspiration behind our participation and support of this important cause and we welcome you, your friends and your family to join us in our Ride for Glen. Please support this event and our team effort though your generous donations and fundraising. We hope our Team can raise and contribute $1000, or even more! Please join us in honoring our friend, Glen, and come enjoy riding either one or both days in the foothills of the beautiful Mohonk Mountain area.
Thank you.
If you have questions or need further information or assistance, please contact Michael Kalajian at [email protected].

The Ride for Mental Health 2019
The Ride for Mental Health is one of the first rides in the country to benefit mental health. The proceeds raised will be donated to McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, for the education, research, and treatment of mental illness including anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse. Our mission is to raise funds for McLean so that we can help accelerate the progress being made to help others who suffer from mental illness.
We also hope to end the stigma surrounding mental illness through education and awareness. The promotion of this ride is a start. Many if not most of us are touched by close friends and relatives who have suffered from one type or another of mental illness.
