To date, roughly 150 riders have registered for the event which will see a lycra crew off on a 42km challenge at 10am, followed by a more leisurely paced 5km ride.
Even the kids can get involved with a ride around the closed village streets at 10.30am.
The cost is $15 per adult, with registration commencing at 9.30am.
So dust of your pushbikes and lubricate those chains as all roads lead to Greenethorpe on Sunday.
Take part in a ride past the Canola-filled paddocks and historic Iandra Castle, with a bacon and egg roll or treat from the French inspired patisserie and coffee as a reward on your return.
There is also a free jumping castle for the young or young at heart, and a community garage sale with plants, books and lots of goodies to buy.
School and preschool children will ride for free, but for insurance purposed they still need to register.
All money raised goes to the upkeep of the Greenethorpe Soldiers Memorial Hall.
Following the success from last year the whole of community garage sale in the Hall will start at 9am.
Greenethorpe Primary School will be having a book stall and vegetable seedling stall.
Anyone wishing to have a stall contact Lindsay on 0428 721 268.
