Welcome
Welcome to the round four of the 2021 Junior Road Series located in Eildon.
This event supports the vision of “Building a love of cycling. More People Riding and
Racing.”
To AusCycling Victoria officials and the multitude of volunteers, a huge thank you. Without
their help this weekend, and without the enormous preparation prior to the event, this tour
could not proceed. So, when you see them out and about, please give them a hearty Thank
You!
We have engaged the services of St John Ambulance to provide First Aid to this event. A
levy on your entry fee assists to cover this cost.
Good luck to our participants. Enjoy your racing. Have a great weekend.

Safety
Safety of participants is the most important priority in the planning and delivery of this
event. Riding on open roads represent one of the greatest risks to our riders. Development
of a suitable Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is key aspect of this, but more importantly is
the implementation of traffic controls which aligns with this plan. Blackburn Cycling Club
takes this responsibility very seriously and has made significant investment in signage,
equipment and training. Please understand that the race entry fees are reflective of the
cost to implement controls consistent with the TMP.
A reminder to parents and carers of riders driving in and around the event that you also
are required to follow traffic control signs and directions given by traffic controllers. Whilst
racing remains in progress, you are also requested to support the safety of all riders by
arriving and departing to and from OEG Camp Eildon (726 Back Eildon Road) by only using
the Eildon township approach roadway. This means you are not to exit from the vicinity
of OEG in the direction of Thornton.
To optimise safety for riders, our planning has included provision of a closed road for the
Mt Pinniger hill climb, ITT and all finish lines.
Blackburn Cycling Club supports AusCycling’s expectation that volunteers and officials
associated with junior events to have a work with children check card. Applications for these
cards are free for volunteer organisations and can be obtained by accessing the link below.
All junior tour volunteers are encouraged to obtain their working with children card:
http://www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au/home/about+the+check/who+needs+a+check/
Important notes for riders:
• Riders are reminded that weather conditions can vary throughout a race. Thus,
suitable race clothing should be worn to cater for the conditions and any potential
change to the conditions.
• You should also have a change of clothes available at the completion of each race.
• It is the rider’s sole responsibility to ensure that they eat and drink in sufficient
quantity for the event
• To ensure no riders are left on-course, all riders who abandon a race must immediately
return to finish line and formally note their abandonment with Commissionaires.
Please feel free to communicate any safety concerns to the Race Director should you
observe any concerns on race day.
Please refer to the BBN COVID Safe Plan to see how you can play your role in making this a
safe event for riders and spectators and the community.
