A €60 deposit will secure a ticket for the sold out festival.
Each person that signs up will then have to raise at least €395 for either LauraLynn Children’s Hospice, Ronald McDonald House or ISPCC Childline.
The cycle will begin from Tallaght Stadium on the morning of Friday August 30. Food and drink will be provided on route to the festival at Stradbally, Co Laois.
This year's cycle will be sponsored by Irish Dairy - The Complete Natural.
Zoe Kavanagh CEO of the National Dairy Council said: "We are really excited to announce our title sponsorship of Tour de Picnic for the second year running.
"Dairy is such a great food to support exercise and training, the perfect post-performance recovery drink.
"Milk is rich in protein – an important nutrient for muscle growth and maintenance – and provides a natural carbohydrate source to help refuel energy stores.
"We are also delighted to be supporting the three great charities for this year’s Tour - LauraLynn Children’s Hospice, Ronald McDonald House and ISPCC Childline."
Individuals who raise over €1,000 can gain VIP access to the festival.
