Record Breaking Revival Weekend 2026! - Hogs Back Brewery

Record Breaking Revival Weekend 2026!

What a Revival Weekend!  With the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) on Sunday bringing the record-breaking weekend to a close, here are just some of the Facts and Figures:

1,402 riders registered for the 35-mile Surrey Hills ride.  This makes it the largest in the UK, Europe and North America and globally tying in second place with Hyderabad, behind leader’s Buenos Aires.

The ride has raised a staggering £107,000 to date, propelling it up the global fundraising leaderboard to its current third place just behind Bournemouth & Poole and New York. With money still coming in, the final total is expected to exceed £120,000.

2,500 riders and visitors congregated at the Brewery on Sunday to see the DGR finish.
