Organised by MUD Pride, a branch of the Ulladulla-Milton Lions Club, up to 60 riders will travel through 110 kilometres of pristine State Forest.
The ride will start at East Lynne Store with an approved 80 kilometre marked loop through State Forest in the morning followed by a 30 kilometre afternoon loop.
Camping is also available with amenities.
There was an entry fee but all profits will go to MUD Pride Lions Club to be dispersed to local charities and organisations in need.
Over $2000 worth of prizes will be given away to participants.
Dean Wilkins owns the East Lynne Store is looking forward to a good day’s riding.
“It’s a pretty coveted location for dirt and road bikes,” he said.
“I just like riding myself and it has always been a favourite spot for locals. There are so many tracks out back that go as far as from here to Milton or Braidwood.”
The area has also played host to the Australian Enduro two-day and four-day events and Saturday’s riders will also get to tear up some of the same tracks.
MUD Pride president Rachael Martin, also one of the event organisers, said she hopes to make the day one of MUD Pride’s annual yearly events.
“It’s something we thought there was a need for in the local area. There are a lot of people who own dirt bikes and not many places to ride off-road,” she said.
“It’s an event people will enjoy and gives them an opportunity to do something that is not locally available and raise funds for local charity at the same time.
“It’s a good community event and a good opportunity for people to get together and support the community.”
Entries closed on September 24, but for more information contact Dean on 0404 977 292 or 4478 6050.
