The 2023 NYC Distinguished Gentleman's Ride united more than 1000 gentlefolk and 800-plus classic bikes May 21 in aid of prostate cancer research and men's mental health resources, with the 'Big Apple' raising a city record $236K through rider donations and local contributions.

This year's inspired video -- courtesy of filmmakers Matt Koffel and Nikolai Berger -- will cover the panoramic start at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan, the ride up the Westside Highway, back down the FDR and across the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges before the group landed in the Meatpacking District for après festivities including live music by Julia Haltigan. For now we have a nice teaser to share with you.

Many thanks to all who participated this year: the enthusiastic riders, the generous sponsors, our dedicated volunteers, and the spirited, untiring organizers for a hugely successful event.

NYC ride hosts Mike Higgins, Allister Klingensmith, Chris Logsdon, Hatim Banaja and Rahoul Ghose are honored to be a part of this great experience. Relive the day and don't forget to bookmark next year's DGR date: Sunday, May 19, 2024.

Stay dapper folks ... and keep the rubber side down.
