DGR Tulsa

Tuesday 28th May 2024

I decided to write a story about my first DGR. The final document was over 9 pages on Libre Office... so since there is not that much space here, lets just say that the local organisers did a good job keeping the ride together - its a bit like herding cats - and no one got lost or fell off. It was hot - approx 90° F - and riding around in a suit and tie [plus full face helmet ] exacerbated the heat, but again the organisers came thru with plenty of opportunities for hydration and shady stops. Everyone I spoke to enjoyed the afternoon and maybe our small contribution to the cause will be the pebble that tips the load in favour of greatly improved Men's health!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Thursday 21st 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.
