Both the shorter 80km Ride and 136km Race cycling events had their dates pushed to Sunday, November 28 after wet weather caused organisers to postpone in March.
The 136km Race will be held as planned.

The event's organiser Lateral Events said the decision was made following extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community.
"The [Ride] route crosses the Princes Highway at a major roundabout in Bomaderry, impacting restaurants, shopping centres, a sports complex and major factories," said the organisers.
The 80km Ride route was meant to travel from Kiama to Berry via Gerringong, Bomaderry and Shoalhaven Heads.
Lateral Events said they had worked with local authorities to explore multiple options to maintain The Ride, but Tour de France standards, including fully closed roads, could not be met without creating substantial impact on local communities through the extended road closures.
L'Étape Australia Race Director Florent Malézieux said it was paramount to Lateral Events to find the right balance between Tour de France standards and community impact.
"And we haven't been able to reach this point yet," he said.
"Placing the Ride on hold will allow us to focus on the Race, deliver a unique experience to thousands of riders and showcase Kiama, the Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands.
"We are not abandoning the idea to have the Ride again at a future edition of L'Étape Australia".
The organisers said the Traffic Management Plan for the event has been finalised, and that they will continue a community engagement program throughout July to present the plan to local residents and businesses.
Lateral Events said times and locations of upcoming community meetings will be advertised at www.letapeaustralia.com/community
