Highgate House Host the start of “Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride”

For the 3^rd year Highgate House, a Sundial Group Venue has been the location for the start of the Northampton “Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride”. One of 700 taking place in 110 countries world-wide on 29^th September involving more than 130,000 motorcyclists on classic bikes.  Over 200 riders in tweeds and other “Gentleman” fancy dress assembled for a bacon roll and coffee to fortify themselves for what turned out to be a rather damp ride through the beautiful Northampton countryside.

Managing Director of Sundial Group Tim Chudley joined the ride on his Triumph Thruxton and has raised £1,000.

“Despite it being a wet and windy day, it was great fun to join other keen bikers on interesting machines and ride together to raise awareness of important medical issues.”

This year more than £6m has been raised for the Movember movement which supports research into prostate cancer and supports men’s mental health.
