San Martín Sets Third Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride for May 17

The local parade is part of a Movember-backed global ride founded in 2012 to raise money for men’s health.

Overview

  • San Martín’s third Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride, set for Sunday, starts at 9 a.m. at 25 de Mayo y Alem, with the parade rolling at 11 along the Wine Roads route.
  • The caravan takes a circuit through vineyard country designed to showcase local wine tourism and rural scenery.
  • After the ride, the program shifts to Paseo de la Patria for food stalls, live music, artisans, raffles and awards, then wraps at Bodega Penedo Borges.
  • Organizers aim to match or top last year’s roughly 600 riders, with participants expected from neighboring provinces and Chile.
  • To take part, Mendoza organizers ask a minimum US$5 donation on the official DGR site for a free, noncompetitive ride that favors elegant dress yet welcomes modern motorcycles.
