The day after
Monday 19th May 2025I remember being surprised and excited by collecting 300 euro in a day or two, never would I have expected to raise 2695 euro in a week! What an amazing result, which was also the highest amount collected from around 180 riders that joined the Roermond DGR. For this, I was given this beautiful award, next to having my name engraved in the challenge trophy.
Worldwide, nearly 125 thousand rides joined, collecting millions.
Thank you all again for your generous donations to this important cause.

What a ride
Sunday 18th May 2025More than 160 riders just completed the tour, great to see so many bikes and enthusiasts! Will be posting photo's soon!
Thanks for all donations!

Almost there.....
Wednesday 14th May 2025Just a few days to go! Donations are still coming in, topping 1000 EUR already. Thanks all for your contributions.
To ensure I do not let you down, got up at 5:30 this morning to put a new clutch in the engine.

Thanks for your generous donations! Ready for the test drive...
Saturday 10th May 2025Signed up yesterday, posted it to you all and already raised an amazing 700 EUR :-D
Thanks for your generous donations!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Friday 9th May 2025 On Sunday the 18th of May 2025, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.My Sponsors

Hey Jeroen, mooi initiatief. Ik doneer daarvoor graag een voor mij symbolisch bedrag/nummer 48. Dit is de leeftijd van mijn vader (37) toen hij over leed plus mijn leeftijd toen mij (11), en de rest van zijn dierbare, toen we hem verloren aan kanker. Succes met deze ride!

Thank you for raising awareness for this, Jeroen. I hope we continue moving toward a world where harmful ideas like ‘boys don’t cry’ and ‘man up’ are replaced with compassion and understanding. Men deserve the freedom to express their emotions, show vulnerability, and ask for help without judgment. Enjoy your ride!
