Cycling Heals and Vets Connect
Description of the event: We are well into our third year of CHVC and 2021 has been great. We have been witness to a lot of friendships that have been established and strengthened over months and years of enjoying this event together. CHVC is supporting the growing need for cycling activities designed for the Disabled Veterans and Wounded Warriors community. CHVC has been consistently attracting folks locally and from across the state and we look forward to the event continuing to grow and grow! Through a partnership between Operation North State / National Cycling Center / City of Winston-Salem, Recreation & Parks, CHVC is a consistent event that takes place on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, rain or shine. These monthly cycling events are based out of Salem Lake Park and Marina. These events have been filling a void in the state of NC by providing consistent opportunities for recreational therapy for Disabled Veterans and Wounded Warriors. Cycling is a great way to help combat the effects of PTSD and depression and will offer participants and their support team an opportunity to engage more frequently with fellow veterans. These events are proving to enhance the quality of life among participants. We want to see this event continue to get more veterans re-engaged and enjoy cycling with friends and fellow veterans.
