Location- Red Cow Retail Centre, Robinhood Road
Description- Once again we are proud to be part of the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride here in Dublin, Ireland. Please follow the link below to sign-up ahead of the ride and help to raise funds for these important causes.
Riding Dapper for a Cause: A Brief History of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride.
On Sunday September 30th 2018, over 120,000 distinguished gentlefolk in over 650 cities worldwide will don their cravats, tustle their ties, press their tweed, and sit astride their classic and vintage styled motorcycles to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and men’s mental health.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride was founded in Sydney, Australia by Mark Hawwa. It was inspired by a photo of Mad Men’s Don Draper astride a classic bike and wearing his finest suit. Mark decided a themed ride would be a great way to combat the often-negative stereotype of men on motorcycles, whilst connecting niche motorcycle communities together.
That first ride in 2012 brought together over 2,500 riders across 64 cities. The success of the event encouraged the founder to consider how it could be used to support a worthy cause.
Cost- Free. Donations welcome.
