I've harped on enough about how important I feel the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) is. For anyone who doesn't know, the DGR is a worldwide charity ride that raises funds and awareness to support men's mental health and prostate cancer research.
I went on about it so much that I felt I should do something for it myself, particularly as someone who's been affected by the issues that it raises money and awareness for. So, this year, I feel particularly happy to report on the charity's success this year after smashing my fundraising goal with the help of friends, family, and even some strangers. But it's the sheer volume of people around the world that get involved in this event that makes it so successful.
Here are some stats. In 2025, a total of 127,504 riders took part in the DGR. Also, there were 1,038 rides that took place in 108 countries.
