Cyclists have ridden 3280 kilometres to raise awareness of mental health issues and will be arriving at the Civic Green at 3pm.
The Let's Talk Foundation team of nine riders and six crew says it is using the ride to help break the stigma of mental health that exists in communities, particularly in regional areas, and hope to bring an end to the tragic loss of life to suicide.
The event aims to support people with mental health issues and their network to have important conversations about depression, anxiety and mental health, and how to seek help when needed.
Locals are invited to welcome the riders home at the Warrnambool Civic Green beginning at 2pm with a free community yoga session, as part of the This Girl Can program, followed by live music, massages, information stalls and a barbecue. There will be prizes for the first family to do yoga or arrive on their bikes.
The riders will arrive at 3pm for presentations with representatives from the Moyne, Corangamite and Warrnambool councils.
- Anyone who needs help can phone Lifeline on 131 114 or beyondblue on 1300 224 636
