On the first Sunday in June, thousands of riders, volunteers and supporters gather for a charity cycling event along parts of Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway with a common mission: raise funds to promote research, innovation, care and education in the field of aging and brain health, in support of Baycrest.
The Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health event is a fully supported ride that provides participants with fundraising tools and guidance, meals and snacks at our start line and rest stops along routes, mechanical and medical assistance, and bike and rider transportation where needed.
This support allows riders to focus on why they’re riding: to fund life saving projects for the aging in our community.
When you register for Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first, and a bike ride second.
Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or haven’t been on a bike for years, there’s a place for you in the event. Cyclists can choose to ride one of four different routes ranging from 25km, 50km, 75km and a brand new timed 75km route.
New to the event in 2023 is the addition of a 75km timed route which is recommended for a cyclist who can maintain an average speed of 25km/hour on their bike for the full 75 kms.
Baycrest Foundation’s mission is to promote research, innovation, care and education in the field of aging and brain health, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and stroke, as well as medical programs and services for older adults living in the community. Mattamy Homes Bike for Brain Health provides a way for riders to do something about it: raise funds and celebrate by cycling on the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway traffic-free.
