With six different bike rides ranging from 130 kilometres in length all the way down to nine kilometres and a whole day of food, drinks, and entertainment on offer, there really is something for everyone.
Chairman of the organising committee Phil McIntosh said they had already received a record number of registrations, with numbers hitting almost 2000.
“Last year we had about 1500 registered riders, so this year we're already way past that and we're hoping to get 5000 into the festival,” Mr McIntosh said.
“Then we've got about 18 of the best independent craft brewers in Australia coming and there'll be fine food as well and entertainment on the stage all day.”
The first ride of the day – the Dirty 130 – kicks off at 7am and will head 130 kilometres north to Marrar and Coolamon before returning back to the Victory Memorial Gardens.
The festival will then begin from 11am, keeping the gardens well and truly alive into the evening.
Mr McIntosh said it was all about bringing Wagga together for a day of community fun.
“It’s just a really nice chilled out afternoon in the park on a sunny Sunday, and we’re pulling an enormous amount of people into the city,” he said.
Registered riders get free entry to the festival, and all others are welcome for just $10.
