Organisers have urged motorists to be aware of cyclists in the area during the event.
Michelle Armstrong of Roadsafe North East said a highly visible electronic display was positioned at a prominent location on the route.
“This important message is a visual reminder to motorists of the need to look for cyclists and take care when passing,” Ms Armstrong said.
Children aged six to 13, are also eligible to take part in a bike education course designed to build confidence and competence.
The challenge includes family-friendly rides of 2km, 5km, 8km and the more demanding 25km. While more experienced riders can participate in the 37km, 74km or 118km road events.
All rides start and finish at Wodonga Racecourse where a free Chill Zone will operate from 10.30am, featuring a giant inflatable waterslide, food and wine, a vintage bike display and complimentary massages.
All money raised goes to the Albury-Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund and Border Trust.
