Sunday's Almost Here!
Friday 17th May 2024Los Angeles Gentlefolk!
The DGR is almost upon us -- this Sunday. It promises to be an amazing event with a scenic, engaging ride, awesome live music entertainment before and after the ride, and mind blowing prizes (raffles, a Dapper Contest and a motorcycle giveaway)!!
The "catch" is that you MUST register to participate. Tell your friends, too. There's still time. Don't miss out!
Less than a month to go!
Wednesday 24th Apr 2024Get registered and join the Distinguished Riders of Los Angeles team: www.gentlemansride.com/team/DistinguishedRidersLosAngeles
We have lots of great things planned for this ride. Aside from the venue (to be announced 1-2 days before the ride), we will have fundraising prizes, raffles, and a Dapper contest!
Raise at least $3,000 and you will qualify for a raffle to win a brand new 2024 Triumph Speed 400 motorcycle from Southern California Triumph!!
I look forward to riding with you!
Let’s Go
Wednesday 20th Mar 2024Here we go, Los Angeles!
As one of the City's hosts, welcome to the 2024 fundraising campaign! We have an amazing ride planned for all of our registered riders and a visual and aural spectacle for the citizens of the City of Angels on May 19th!
This year, there are amazing sprint prizes and top fundraising prizes, including a grand prize to be awarded by SoCal Triumph - a brand new 2024 Triumph Speed 400 motorcycle!! So do not delay! Register and fundraise.
Last year, we finished as the third highest fundraising city in the world. We were actually in the number one position on the day of the ride. This year, we are out to take the number one spot at the close of fundraising. Let's make this year's campaign one for the books for men's health!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Wednesday 20th Mar 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, 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.My Sponsors
