BATHURST CYCLING CLASSIC I MARCH 14-15, 2020 RIDER BOOKLET WELCOME FROM UCI It is my pleasure to send this message to everyone at the Bathurst Cycling Classic.

2020 is the fourth year that this Australian event is part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series, which this season comprises 29 qualifier events. The fastest riders in each age group in Bathurst will earn the right to compete in this year’s UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, taking place in Vancouver (Canada) in September.

The Bathurst event offers both a tough 4.1km mountain time trial, and a new road race course that has something for everyone: the challenging Mount Panorama climb right after the start followed by undulating course offering something for cyclists of all abilities.

It is a major undertaking to stage an international event of this calibre, and my thanks to go to the organisers, sponsors and partners, in particular the Bathurst Regional Council whose implication and collaboration with Cycling Australia and Cycling New South Wales have been invaluable.

In closing, I wish the best of luck to everyone participating in the Bathurst Cycling Classic.

David Lappartient UCI President

MEET LILA

Lila is a determined 4-year-old with a big character and light-hearted attitude to life. She enjoys art, music and dancing. Her favourite colour is pink,” said her mum, Natalie.

Lila was born with two major heart conditions and underwent her first cardiac surgery at 19 hours old. After a challenging 12 months Lila was diagnosed with CHARGE syndrome.

“She has difficulty with balance and her hearing and peripheral vision are also affected. Because of this, physical activities are a bit of a challenge for Lila but she is always determined to have a go,” said Natalie.

Natalie said she cried tears of joy when she saw Lila riding for the first time, “I was super happy for her! Lila doesn’t see her bike as being different, she sees it as her special pink fairy bike and she can ride it with confidence just like her brother and cousins do theirs!”

BATHURST CYCLING CLASSIC I MARCH 14-15, 2020 RIDER BOOKLET VOLUNTEERS BATHURST REGIONAL COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A SINCERE THANKS TO THE VOLUNTEERS AND VOLUNTEER GROUPS WHO ASSIST WITH THE BATHURST CYCLING CLASSIC.

We have a large range of community groups and sporting clubs volunteering with us each year and here are just a few that have worked with us in the past and some new faces for 2020:

q Bathurst Rotary q Lagoon RFS q Bathurst Daybreak Rotary q Trunkey Public School P&C q Blayney Rotary q Rockley Public School q Bushrangers Netball and AFL q CSU Social Committee q Macquarie Lions q Bathurst Scouts q Perthville RFS q Rockley and District Community Association Inc q Lions Club of Bathurst

In 2019 the Bathurst Bushrangers volunteered at the Bathurst Cycling Classic and raised $1,700 for their club. Being involved in this event gives community groups an opportunity to help out, work together as a team and raise much needed funds to go towards upcoming projects.

‘We used the money to purchase much needed equipment and attire for our Men’s, Ladies, Juniors and Netball players.’ – Emma Lewis, Bushrangers Committee Member
