Hundreds have turned out on vintage and classic themed motorcycles for an annual ride in support of men's health.

The Oxford Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, which started at Triumph Oxford, drew 300 dapper dressed riders from across the region.

Organised by a team of volunteers, the event attracted global participation with more than 112,000 riders taking part in more than 950 events spread across 105 countries.

The world-wide initiative, partnered with Movember since 2016, aims to raise funds and bring awareness to prostate cancer research and men’s mental health issues.

In Oxford, a new route was used this year, starting in Wooton before taking riders on a tour of the historic city centre, with a mid-ride stop at Radcliffe Square.

Riders enjoyed wandering around the city in the sun before taking group photos in front of the Radcliffe Camera.

The event was attended by the newly appointed lord mayor, councillor Mike Rowley.

There was engagement with the public during the groups visit, which is one of the main objectives of the event.

After leaving Radcliffe Square, the ride moved past Keble College and through Summertown.

It concluded at Kingsley Café on the A40 at Eynsham with a fundraising event as well as live music, food and drink.

The Oxford ride raised more than £24,000, with the fundraising period open until early June.
