The ride is this Sunday!

Bikes will be arriving at the Viaduct Events Centre from 8am-10am, and departing just after 10am. The bikes will be back around 12.30-ish and there will be a bit of a post-match until 3pm.

The area is open to the public and we'd love to see you there! There should be food trucks, a coffee van, and a band on site too. Wicked! Bring on Sunday!

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

Sunday 24th 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.
