Motorcyclists revved together for prostate cancer and mental health in Berrima

The event was held to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health.

Fifty men and women sported tweed, bow ties, waistcoats, tailcoats suits, and dresses rode around the region this morning, joining thousands of riders taking part in the international initiative.

The international initiative began in Sydney as a way to support men's wellbeing and celebrated its 10-year milestone today across the globe.

Goulburn residents Arianne Dine and her husband Jeff were excited to be a part of the event.

"We need to be aware of issues facing men," she said.

"It's great to be part of a community, the mateship is brilliant."

For Angel Ioannou, the ride hit close to home.

"I was diagnosed with prostate cancer one year ago," he said.

For him, the ride is a "testament" to the people who helped while he underwent treatment.

Mr Ioannou was rewarded for raising the most funds for the Highlands Ride.

The riders gathered at the Sutton Forest Inn this morning to commence the journey.

Some motorcyclists stationed themselves to direct distinguished riders on the route around the Highlands.

Bikes revved and hummed through Bowral and Mittagong before concluding in Berrima.

Motorcyclists and their families united at Whitewall Art Projects for refreshments and the exhibition of three vintage motorcycles.

Over $7800 has been raised for the initiative so far and DGR organiser Martin Elferink said that amount will continue to grow.

The DGR has taken place in 107 countries with over 340,000 riders taking part in the themed ride worldwide since 2012.
