Riding again for the second year!
Sunday 30th Mar 2025On May 18th, I’ll be donning my finest attire, polishing up the bike, and joining fellow riders for the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) – Solent. This will be my second year taking part in this incredible event, and even more special, my daughter Miah will be riding with me again.
The DGR is more than just a ride—it’s a movement. Across the globe, thousands of classic and vintage-style motorcycle enthusiasts come together to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, supporting prostate cancer research and men’s mental well-being. It’s a chance to celebrate the joy of riding while making a real difference.
Last year was an unforgettable experience—riding through the beautiful Solent route, meeting like-minded riders, and feeling the camaraderie of a community brought together by a shared cause. This year, I’m looking forward to it even more, knowing that Miah and I will be part of something truly meaningful once again.
To my fellow riders—I hope to see you on the day, suited, booted, and ready to roll. To friends and family, any support, whether a donation or a share, would mean the world to us. Every contribution helps change lives, and I’m incredibly grateful to be part of it.
See you on the ride! #DGR2025 #SolentRide #RidingForACause #MensHealth
I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Sunday 30th Mar 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
