SUNDAY 17 MAY 2026
THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN'S RIDE
Sunday 17 May 2026 marks the return of The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, and the 13th year of Triumph being the official motorcycle partner for this global movement.
This iconic motorcycle event brings together well-dressed riders from across the globe to raise money and awareness for two incredible causes: men’s mental health and prostate cancer research.
Registration is now officially open and, as always, spaces for the ride are limited. We’d recommend not leaving it too late to secure your place.
Whether you’ve ridden with us before or are thinking about joining for the first time, it’s always a brilliant day – great bikes, great company, and all for a genuinely important cause.
An Evening Before the Ride
Before Sunday’s ride, you’re warmly invited to begin the weekend in proper style at a Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Dapper Social, hosted by Black Bee Rum Company.
An evening of good company, fine rum, and classic attire—all in support of the same important cause.
