Are you a Ducati rider? If you've been one for some time, then chances are excellent that you already know about #WeRideAsOne, the annual ride day for all Ducatisti everywhere to celebrate the joy that comes with riding your favorite Ducati motorcycles. On some previous years, it's been scheduled on the same day as International Female Ride Day, so women riders who are also Ducatisti could theoretically complete two global group rides with one route!

In 2026, though, Ducati's #WeRideAsOne is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, 2026. That puts it at a week after this year's IFRD, so if you're a woman rider whose bike of choice is a Ducati, well, that just means you have TWO events to put on your calendar this time around!

Incidentally, Ducati is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026, as well. It's doing this all year long (and, I mean, wouldn't you?) so the events it's planning are sure to be just a little bit extra special this year. If you have a local Ducati dealer in your area, you may want to check in and see if there are any special parades, events, routes, or other items scheduled to take place for this year's #WeRideAsOne.

This is, of course, all a lead-in to the main event for fans everywhere: World Ducati Week, which will touch down at the Misano World Circuit from July 3 through 5, 2026. Granted, that one may require some travel, depending on where you're located in the world, while #WeRideAsOne is an easy way to celebrate the joy of Ducati from anywhere and everywhere.

In any case, it's not every motorcycle maker (or even most motorcycle makers) that lives to be 100, so it's definitely something worth celebrating for all the joy the brand has brought riders over the years. And racers, too; as the MotoGP calendar currently stands, WDW is situated right between Assen and Sachsenring, while #WeRideAsOne will take place directly during the Le Mans GP weekend.

Which raises the question: If you're a Ducatista attending MotoGP at LeMans, and you also decide to roll out with #WeRideAsOne, is it an endurance race of a different kind? Only you can know for sure.
