The Women Riders World Relay started in Scotland in February when founder Hayley Bell decided she wanted to inspire more women to take up riding.

Bendigo resident Carmen Conway-Hicks will be one of those women joining the ride in Mildura for day 184 of the relay.

"The idea of the ride is to give awareness to women that they have the freedom to ride," she said.

Ms Conway-Hicks has been riding her Indian Dark Horse for about 10 years.

She is an active participant in the El Disaster Mallee Run for the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Pink Ribbon Ride for breast cancer awareness.

She will be part of the group travelling more than 600 kilometres from Mildura to Lilydale on Thursday next week. They will pass through Bendigo as part of the journey.

"It will be the biggest ride I've certainly done," Ms Conway-Hicks said. "But I knew it was something I had to do."

More than 15,000 women around the world have been taking part in the relay since it started in February. It has already passed through more than 50 countries.

Founder Hayley Bell has ridden with the women for the past few months and will join Ms Conway-Hicks and the other riders for the Victorian leg of the journey.

"It has been massive to watch every day and to see where they have been," Ms Conway-Hicks said.

After Victoria, the relay will continue through the east coast of Australia before moving onto New Zealand.

It will end in January at the United Arab Emirates.
