So I’m all registered for the DGR are 2018. I first saw the distinguished gentleman‘s ride shortly after my brother died way too young of prostate cancer last year. It was this that motivated me to get a motorbike license buy a Triumph and participate in this years event to raise money. I shall be riding in the Exeter event as my brother moved from London to Exmouth a few years before he passed away. With only 200 miles riding distance done so far, the 190 miles ride to get to the event will be a useful learning curve I look forward to meeting any other forum members who may also be taking part in this event and good luck to those participating in any other event accross the globe As my wonderful brother would say “ Fuck You Cancer”
I also signed up just the other day, for the Sussex ride. A similar situation lead me to motorbikes, enjoy the ride, somehow it helps.
Hi I will also paeticipate this year in Zurich. It is not only about riding but to increase the awareness of prostata cancer. I hope many if you can also join!
Thanks for the reminder. It looks like Kevin has forgotten to register Northampton for this year. I'll call him Monday to get it organised.
I’ve registered, put down Guildford, had to put something down to register, but can’t find anything about the ride as the link on the website doesn’t work. Anybody know anything about the routes? Guildford, West Sussex, Solent?
No ride out from Birmingham this year since the last triumph dealership in the county shut up shop. Signed up to the next nearest at Tamworth. Not too far away.
Johannesburg. I will be there. I have cancer and the scars to prove it. Its not what cancer does to you, but to friends and family. I, and I alone, carry this burden by myself. The nurse who treats me, says she has never in all years of treating people such as myself, meet anyone apart from me who goes through the treatment with such strength of mind and still turns up for the treatment, (believe me its crap and makes you feel like crap) with such a defiant attitude to cancer. As my favorite poem by Dylan Thomas starts with. Do not go gentle into that good night...….
Signed up for the Bristol ride. Diagnosed with prostrate cancer earlier this year and hoping that the treatment and effects will allow me to participate
Here's the Solent one - starts in Winchester so handy for me! I can't see any other ride details as it only lets you see the ride that you registered for.
I just signed up for the Calgary AB Canada ride. A great cause and I am glad to support it with some time and some cash. Plus it is always nice to meet up with some new riders.
I’m also taking part again this year, this time in Victoria, Vancouver island, where I live. There wasn’t a ride here last year so I took part in the Vancouver ride, on the mainland, which was amazing. I’m proud to say I was the highest fundraiser for Vancouver last year and also got a DGR Hedon helmet, which I’ll be wearing on this years ride. My father died because of prostate cancer, my cousin, here, lost his battle just a few weeks ago and he was my main riding buddy, so it’s going to be an emotional day. Fuck cancer.
I too know the pain of losing someone close due to this insidious disease called cancer. Maybe this can ease your pain. “When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes, they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home”.
Oops. Thought I'd better revise this post. There is a ride out from Birmingham this year again. It was registered later than the Tamworth ride hence my incorrect assumption. Sorry for my fake news confusion.
All in ... second time... i have no idea what should be my set for it.... so hard to look "englishman".
