Sunday, May 19th is the date.
Is there a ride where you are? I'll probably be in the San Francisco one again unless they fire one up here in Santa Rosa.

Globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men – with 1.4million men diagnosed with the disease every year. Over 10million men around the world are now living with or beyond a prostate cancer diagnosis. DGR funding has enabled Movember to invest in world class biomedical research that leads to new tests and treatments particularly for men with high-risk disease, while Movember’s global clinical quality registries help clinicians improve treatment and reduce harmful side effects.
I have a long history of being the guy that puts his hand up. In the wake of my wife's cancer diagnosis, I spent 5 years riding endurance bicycling events for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, raising money to continue the kind of research that saved my wife's life. Since then, I've been participating in the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and have raised several thousand dollars for a cause much closer to my heart - literally. Prostate cancer and men's mental health and suicide prevention.
I know that lots of us are absolutely mortified by the prospect of riding in a larger group. I generally am, as well. But when everyone is showing up with their bike, wearing a fine suit or other dapper attire, it's a different kind of event entirely. It's tremendously fun and some of the folks that I've met on various DGRs have become riding friends.
If you have the opportunity, why not spend Sunday May 19th doing something different with your bike and doing good work for your community?
If you're in NorCal, I hope to see you there.
