On Sunday, September 27th, more than 30,000 smartly-dressed motorcycle aficionados in more than 400 cities—including Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston—will straddle the saddles of their café racers, bobbers, scramblers, scooters and other style motorcycles to raise awareness and help fund the cure for prostate cancer.
In grand style, dapper gents and elegant ladies shall ride their steeds while raising awareness for men’s health. Last year, more than 20,000 participants in 257 cities around 58 countries raised more than $1.5 million for prostate cancer research. This year, the goal is to raise $3 million
Founded in 2012, in Sydney, Australia, and inspired by a photo of “Mad Men’s” Don Drapper character astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit, the themed ride is a great way to connect motorcycle communities together for a good cause.
Only registered riders are permitted to participate. Register at gentlemansride.com for more details, such as the ride location, start time, a Style Guide, safety information and facts about organizations that the fundraiser benefits.
Each year, one in nine men develops prostate cancer and close to 500,000 men will die from the disease. The DGR is sponsored by Triumph and features prizes.
