Simon Poidevin - heads home for charity: Goulburn to Sydney Cycle Race

Goulburn to Sydney Cycle Race

This year's event will also include a corporate charity ride led by Race Ambassador, Simon Poidevin when corporate Australia will swap golf clubs for the bicycle. The race and charity ride will follow similar routes from Goulburn through Berrima, Mittagong, Bargo, Tahmoor, Picton, Razorback and finish in Camden.
With the support of Cycling New South Wales, the NSW Police Force and NSW Roads and Traffic Authority to step up and challenge other states for cycling supremacy, "We have some of the greatest road riders in the world and we live in one of the greatest cities of world, now we need a road race to match and it's our undertaking to Citi to achieve nothing less over the next two years." Mr Macefield said.   Citi aims to deliver in conjunction with charity team sponsors a major financial windfall to a number of charities which will include major beneficiary Odyssey House.   The race will again be televised on SBS TV and will highlight Australia's elite cyclists as they fight for victory in the 170km race which will include a team's classification, similar to the style of event seen in the Tour De France. The Goulburn to Citi, which is one year older than the Tour de France, is currently applying for UCI ranking.  Over 100 volunteers from Goulburn, Southern Highlands and Macarthur Cycling Clubs will work with NSW Police and RTA to ensure the success of this year's event.
