The Granya Grind and Tallangatta Tour will be replaced in the February 25 event with the Kergunyah Kruise and Gundowring Grail.
“We had to make up new rides and the obvious area to look at was the Kiewa Valley because we try to keep off major roads,” organiser Ian Moffat said.
The event was launched in Albury on Monday with Mr Moffat hoping participants will go from 650 to 1000 with more corporate entries.
Rides will range from five to 143 kilometres with funds to be given to Border Trust and Albury-Wodonga cancer centre.
