Officers from Lake Illawarra and Wollongong local area commands will meet at Kiama on Saturday morning, riding south with officers from Nowra to join a convoy of up to 900 riders from across the state at Goulburn.
The Goulburn contingent will travel on to Canberra, where more than 1500 riders from across the country will converge at the National Police Memorial.
"It gives us the opportunity to get together with our southern region counterparts, and raise some money for Police Legacy at the same time," said Lake Illawarra police inspector Paul Allman. "It's not often all the commands come together, but it's a great way to help Legacy."
Insp Allman said last year's Wall To Wall ride raised $1500 in the Illawarra, but he hopes Saturday's ride, supported by Burling Signs, can raise over $2000.
The Illawarra ride will begin at Kiama Police Station at 8am.
