DISTINGUISHED gentlemen will be riding into Newquay on stylish motorcycles to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health.

The globally renowned Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is coming to the town on Sunday, May 17.

The iconic event brings together riders of classic and vintage-style motorcycles, all dressed in their finest attire, to help in particular prostate cancer research and mental health initiatives.

A convoy of beautifully maintained motorcycles will be travelling from locations across the county.

The riders are expected to park at Sainsbury’s at 4pm before making their way to Project 83, who have played a key role in introducing and supporting the event locally.

The arrival promises to create a vibrant and memorable atmosphere in the town, with visitors and locals alike able to enjoy the spectacle of distinguished riders and their machines.

Businesses across Newquay are encouraged to get involved, with restaurants, bars and venues invited to extend their opening hours and help create a warm and lively welcome.

Mark Warren from Newquay BID said: “This is another fantastic event for Newquay, and we’re really pleased to be supporting it. We’re always looking to bring more events into the town that drive footfall and showcase everything Newquay has to offer.

“We’re excited to see the incredible bikes and distinguished riders enjoying our town on May 17.”

Event organiser Si Wilkinson added: “The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is about more than just gentlefolks on motorcycles.

“It’s about raising awareness and supporting men’s health on a global scale.

“This ride takes place in over 1,000 cities worldwide, and we’re proud to be bringing our riders into Newquay this year. We can’t wait to see the town come alive as riders arrive to celebrate together.

“With its blend of style, purpose and community spirit, the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is set to be a standout moment in Newquay’s event calendar.”
