Looking to relieve stress and maintain a healthy exercise routine? Join us for stress-free, easy, 30-minute group cycling rides on Zwift! Our Zwift rides will be lead by DVEN Founder, Robert Hess, and will take you on a virtual scenic route. As you ride, you’ll be able to chat with fellow veterans and #StopPTSD advocates, while getting a healthy dose of exercise!
Exercise is one of the best ways to prevent disease, and a feeling of community can greatly mitigate the stress associated with daily life.
