TRAVERSE Issue 19 - August 2020 | Page 133

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is calling on riders all over the world to embrace the event’s first-ever solo edition, which will take place on Sunday, 27 September, 2020. The global event uniquely brings together the motorcycle community and their passion for classic style bikes to support and raise funds for Movember, the men’s health charity. In 2019, the event brought together 116,000 motorcyclists across 100 countries over a shared love of classic styled bikes and helping others. With respect to the varying global social distancing measures in place, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is encouraging its participants to ride solo or with a pillion on Sunday 27 Sept 2020. Riders will be encouraged to engage socially on all social media channels and the DGR website to showcase their efforts. Without organised mass-participation events, no matter where you are in the world you can dress intheme, mount your steed, and ride for men’s health! Funds raised from the 2019 event are being invested in research and mental health programs that will save the lives of men, and we are particularly excited by a new investment that will fund initiatives focussed on supporting first responders, who have worked tirelessly over the last few months. Proudly continuing their support in 2020, Triumph Motorcycles are offering incredible prizes including brand new motorcycles for dedicated fundraisers. Returning alongside Triumph Motorcycles are Red Bull, Elf Lubricants, Hedon Helmets, SKRAM Moto Eyewear and media partner, Pipeburn. New to 2020 is Belstaff, joining the event as the official Motorcycle Outfitter of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride. For further information visit gentlemansride.com/traverse TRAVERSE 133
