2025 DGR Madison Welcome!

Monday 31st Mar 2025

I am honored to be your Ride Host for the 2025 DGR Madison Ride. This will be my 4th year as the host, and my 11th year riding in this global fundraising event.

I will be leading the 2025 DGR Riders through Madison, taking in the Capital, Vilas Zoo, the Arboretum, and a variety of city streets and country roads.

The Ride begins with registration at 9 AM at Panera Bread (East), kickstands up at 10 AM, and ends around 12 NOON at Hop Haus Fitchburg. All are welcome to hang out there as we share lunch together.

We will make a couple scheduled stops along the way at Greenbush Bakery for donuts and coffee, and at the UW Arboretum for a group photo.

I hope to see many of our past year participants again, and to share this great positive experience with many new riders as well!

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Wednesday 26th Mar 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.
