Organisers of the event expect in excess of 500 participants to take part in the event, with all proceeds going to the Ararat hospital.
Ararat resident Phil Clark who is a motorbike enthusiast and the current chief marshal for the ride said it is "a great event to be a part of".
"We have been getting a lot of feedback from riders, they absolutely love it," he said.
"A lot of riders say it is probably the best organised event they have ever done.
"It's a huge event to organise, but it has raised a lot of money for the local East Grampians Health Service, which is fantastic."
