Scotland has a mental health and an obesity crisis. Riding a bike, connecting with other folk and our wild landscapes, is great for our mental and physical health. As a psychotherapist and someone who has experienced depression myself, this is important to me. So it’s our social mission to support and encourage better health through bike-packing in Scotland. We’ll do this in a few ways:

• free access to bike-packing route files
• raising money for charities related to health & cycling
• bringing a diverse group of people together for the rally each year
• supporting great local rural hospitality businesses along our routes
