Raemy Carey and Ryan Moore are organizing the ride. They said it will be happening rain or shine.

Raemy said the community has stepped up donating over $35,000 worth of raffle prizes with all proceeds going to Landyn's family.

"Crazy prizes are going to be given away, we've got thousand-dollar helmets, we've got winery tours, we've got TVs," Carey said. "We've got anything you can think of motorcycle-related or not we're going to be giving it away regardless of the weather."

T-shirts have also been made for the event that can be purchased on Saturday or by clicking here.
