Veterans Beat PTSD with Cycling

VetS Beat PTSD with Cycling

I’m what you might call a PTSD graduate.  It took a long time and a session with a Veterans Administration psychologist before I realized that PTSD was part of my life. I always knew that running and bicycling, actually any physical activity, improved my emotional outlook, but I didn’t know how important it was.

Fast forward a few years to the creation of the DVEN (Disabled Veteran Empowerment Network) to help veterans and I wanted to create a fun program for PTSD survivors, anyone actually, to make cycling a part of their wellness journey.  So, we created a national Sprint Champion cycling program with segments around the US and in the United Kingdom. If you are in Los Angeles, you have access to three segments: two King of the Mountain and one Sprint Challenge.

2020 Veteran Cycling Challenge Program

The program is simple:

  • Visit the signup page
  • Find a segment you want to ride
  • Register
  • And ride the segment as many times as you like until December 31, 2020
  • If you are Number 1 in your USA Cycling age group at midnight on December 31, 2020, you win a free, very snazzy, Sprint Champion jersey

Watch the video below and see if the challenge is for you.
