Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2019




I'll be taking part in the Glasgow Ride of the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride again this September. Last year I rode with my friend Jane on the pillion (only her second time on a bike!) and the weather was a bit kinder to us than in 2017!!!



From the website:

'Riding Dapper for a Cause

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride unites classic and vintage style motorcycle riders all over the world to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of TV Show Mad Men’s, Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way of connecting niche motorcycle enthusiasts and communities while raising funds to support the men in our lives.'
Last year we raised US$6.2 million, with 114,000 riders in 648 cities in 102 countries taking part. This year's target is US$7 million, so I'm asking for others to take part and/or donate.

You can find details of the rides on this page, use the put down menu to find your country, then choose a ride from it.

Alternatively, you can donate to any ride or any rider taking part, so pick one near your home town,

OR you can donate to me! 😊
