Riders are making their way around all the Oroc councils raising money for Macquarie Homestead.
The local Lions Club along with community members made sure the riders felt welcome and fed at their lunch break.
The pack had cycled from Wellington to Narromine and onto Warren on Monday.
They stayed the night in Warren and travelled onto Nyngan and Cobar yesterday.
Chairman of the ride, David Hayes said riding into places like Narromine and being welcomed by the community was a fantastic part of the ride.
"It's great to see the community support," he said.

Mr Hayes said Tuesday was more challenging than Monday's ride.
"It's pretty good but there's a bit of a cross wind and there's the heat," he said.
"But we're in a big group and we do rotation so everyone gets a turn at the front for a couple of minutes."
Mr Hayes said the highlight of the trip so far was listening to Robbie McEwen talk in Warren on Monday night after riding with them for a full day.
Mr McEwen is a triple winner of the Tour de France's green jersey sprinters, he finished professional riding in 2012.
"He had a personal chat with us and gave us some hints and tips about the ride," Mr Hayes said.
The Tour de Oroc group spent last night in Cobar and on Wednesday they will spend the night before travelling onto Bourke, Brewarrina, Walgett, Coonamble, Coonabarabran and Gilgandra before finishing in Dubbo on Saturday.
