The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Returns to Exeter – Sunday, 18th May 2025
Ready your engines, press your tweed, and shine those boots—The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is coming back to Exeter in 2025!
On Sunday, 18th May, hundreds of classic and custom motorcycles will once again line up across the city as Exeter joins over 1,000 cities worldwide to take part in the world’s most stylish charity motorcycling event.
Riders dress dapper and ride classic-styled machines, all in the name of raising funds and awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer research, supported by Movember.
Reflecting on DGR 2024
Last year’s Exeter ride was nothing short of amazing. 140 dapper riders rolled through the city, raising over £6,200 for the cause. The energy, the effort, and the community spirit made it one of the most memorable DGR events yet.
We even hit the small screen! The Exeter ride was featured on ITV News, where our own Lee shared what makes the DGR so special—not just the bikes and the outfits, but the purpose behind it all.
If you missed it, catch the highlights and relive the ride in our 2024 video recap: Watch the video
