The roar of vintage engines and the sharp silhouettes of tailored tweed are set to return to the historic streets of Cambridge. On Sunday, 17th May, 2026, the city will once again host the globally celebrated Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR), uniting classic and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts for a truly spectacular day of riding, camaraderie, and fundraising.

Kickstands go up at 10:00 AM, promising a crisp, scenic morning ride through our beautiful city and the surrounding countryside. But this event is about much more than just admiring beautifully engineered machines and dapper attire. The DGR is a global phenomenon dedicated to raising vital funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health on behalf of their charity partner, Movember.

Fueling the Ride: Our Local Sponsors

An event of this scale relies heavily on the backing of the local community, and the 2026 Cambridge ride is proud to be supported by three fantastic local sponsors:

  • Hot Numbers Coffee: With an 10:00 AM start, riders are going to need a proper morning boost. Hot Numbers brings their beloved, expertly roasted coffee to the table, ensuring that every dapper gentlefolk is adequately caffeinated and ready for the road ahead.

  • Wright's Mower Centre: A pillar of the local machinery and garden community, Wright's Mower Centre understands the love of a well-tuned engine. Their sponsorship highlights the incredible local business support that makes the Cambridge ride possible year after year.

  • Northstowe Tap & Social: After the miles have been ridden and the funds have been raised, there is no better place to celebrate a successful ride. Northstowe Tap & Social provides the perfect community hub for riders to kick off their riding boots, share stories from the road, and enjoy a well-earned post-ride refreshment.
