Mental health support that starts on a mountain bike. Every Saturday we ride Galbraith together: guided, judgment-free, and open to anyone who needs a reason to keep going.

What We Do

A non-clinical place to heal, built on dirt.

We raise education, awareness, and action for mental health through mountain biking. Here's what that looks like on the ground.

01 · Group Rides

Weekly rides where no one rides alone.

Every Saturday on Galbraith Mountain: one guided run on a beginner trail, then group laps split by skill level. First-timers welcome. Bring a bike or ask about ours.

SATURDAYS · 11AM · GALBRAITH MTN

Riders circled up mid-trail for a trail talk

02 · Trail Talks

Real conversations, built into every ride.

Between laps we talk openly about mental health. The goal is simple: break the stigma around voicing your problems, and make asking for help feel as normal as asking for a tube.

03 · Bikes & Bridges

Quality bikes, and a bridge to real resources.

We get people onto capable mountain bikes so they can feel what it's like to let go and enjoy the dirt, and we connect riders with therapists, counselors, and resources they may not know they have access to.

GEAR + GUIDANCE + COMMUNITY

I needed to give myself a reason to keep riding.

The Story

My riding partner and brother, Matthew Arnold, took his own life at the start of 2019. I needed to give myself a reason to keep riding. I love it too much. But I was, and still am some days, too scared to do it alone. Like anyone who loses someone they love, I fight daily against the "what if" thoughts. What if we'd gone on one more ride last season? Why didn't I notice? He was my brother. What was wrong with me?

After I left the service in 2014, it was Matt who helped save my sanity. He gave me the courage to keep going by getting us out riding.

I founded Send It Society to offer that same gift to others: a crew, a trail, and a place where struggling out loud is allowed.

How We Do It

Show up. That's the whole entry fee.

01 / MEET

Roll up to the trailhead

Saturdays at 11AM on Galbraith. New faces are the point. Introduce yourself, or don't. No pressure either way.

02 / WARM UP

One guided run, all together

We open every ride with a guided lap on a beginner trail so everyone starts on the same dirt, whatever their level.

03 / SEND

Laps at your level

Then we split into groups by skill and ride at your pace. Progress is personal. So is the fun.

04 / TALK

Trail Talks

We circle up and talk mental health, and point riders toward professionals and resources when they're ready for them.
