Distinguished Gentleman's Ride suited up to ride through Porto and raise Money to supporting the Movember Foundation

Sunday afternoon, 24 September, Porto joined other 600 cities all over the world to unite for a common and noble cause: to raise money to support prostate cancer and men's mental health.

Participants have to dress up and ride a classical or vintage motorbike through town to raise awareness on important health issues.

The Movember Foundation organises this event every year. It first started in 2012, when Mark Hawwa, inspired by a picture of Don Draper (Mad Men), thought it would be a good idea to dress his best suit, put on a tie, and ride his vintage motorbike (to break the prejudice against bikers) and in a chivalry way raise money to support prostate cancer research.

Beyond of being charitable, this classical and vintage motorbike ride is also a fine moment to enjoy the values of gentlemanly qualities, goodwill, solidarity and companionship.

The idea has proven to be excellent and today the riders ride in over 95 countries, gathering more than 75 thousand participants.

In the city of Porto, the parade starts in Castelo do Queijo, in front of Kasa de Praia. The ignition is scheduled to be turned on at 2 pm and kick off at 3 pm.

The public at large will have the opportunity to watch up and close these lovely machines in the "pit stop" organised at Praça General Humberto Delgado, in front of Porto City Hall, between 3.45 pm and 4.30 pm.
