Pedestrians have also been warned that Saturday's 'mystery ride' commencing at 10.30am utilises the levee bank.
"We're conscious that there'll be people walking on the levee bank and things like that, and we'll make sure to warn cyclists about that as well," said event organiser Philip McIntosh.
Drivers wishing to plan ahead of the weekend can check out the Gears and Beers website which maps out each route cyclists will be taking on the day.
Residents are advised to follow the instructions of traffic controllers.
