Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2021
 

This year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is on Sunday 23 May 2021. The location is wherever you want it to be and it is raising money for men’s health.

Further details here

I keep meaning to go on that event but previously it's been in September and for years clashed with a work event. I thought about doing it last year but it was cancelled. I have no problem with the 'ride' bit - plenty of fast appreciating old clunkers in the garage - but it's the 'distinguished gentleman' bit where I come up short. No matter what I wear on a bike (or off it come to that) I end up looking like I've been living down at the local dump for the last five years.

I used to work with someone who did period costume photo shoots and had a small warehouse full of props / clothing. He was always good for a few tweed jackets, stick on moustaches and other sundry Victoriana but sadly Covid did for that business as well.

I did my best, with what I have here

• Polished by boots
• Black jeans
• White long-sleeved shirt
• Black west

Not much, but better then doing nothing.

And took a solo ride in the Albufeira area.
To make a contribution to a good cause.

This is something that requires more attention.

Sweden has around 2 500 deaths
England 10 000 death
Every year in prostata cancer.

A lot of these could be avoided by proper testing and care.

But it does not make any headlines in the news. And gets very little attentions. It only affects old men. So who cares....

And due to focus on Covid 19, the little the used to be done in this area is cancelled.

Last year a got a free test in a shopping center in this area.
