With Support from: Grey County Road Race May 29, 2016 The Blue Mountains, Ontario, Canada Technical Guide Version 1.50 A UCI Gran Fondo World Series Event The Canadian Qualifier for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships & Junior Ontario Cup Overview Participation Rights Registration Race Numbers Schedule Maps Equipment Regulations Awards Expo Race Regulations Safety Regulations Directions Accommodations Contact Information www.a-dbikes.com 1

UCI Gran Fondo World Series (UGFWS) Event Overview The Grey County Road Race (May 29 th, 2016) will be the sole Canadian qualifier events for the 2016 UCI Gran Fondo World Series. The time trial event will also count towards the Ontario Cup Series for participants who are Ontario residents and hold UCI licenses. In 2011 the UCI created the UWCT (rebranded in 2016 as the UCI GFWS) as a series of UCI-sanctioned races held all over the world. In 2016 there are 14 qualifier events where the top 25% in each age group qualified for the Amateur World Championships and the champions are awarded with the coveted rainbow jersey. My Focus - Introduction In Ontario Canada we have world class facilities, beautiful countryside, great roads and the infrastructure in place to create and host fantastic cycling courses and world class events. After having participated in hundreds of races I decided to apply my learning to hosting races here in Ontario starting in 2012. My main goal is to build challenging courses that put the rider s experience first; limiting peloton size and providing for increased caravan support puts the rider s safety and experience at the forefront. In 2014 I was honoured with being named Road Organizer of the year by the OCA ( ). By adopting best practices from the most successful amateur cycling events and soliciting and incorporating feedback from participants, I continue to look for ways to improve my events. As part of a 3-year agreement with the UCI and the UGFWS, I am proud to continue hosting the Canadian Amateur World Qualifier event through 2017. In 2015 this even drew on over 550 participants primarily from the GTA, but also from the entire Northeast region and across North America. I hope that those of you who participated in the 2015 event will return bringing your families, team mates and friends to take on the challenging course, to enjoy the great facilities in the Blue Mountain Village and the overall quality of the event. It is only through the support from the cycling community in Ontario, the UCI, the UGFWS, the Canadian and s, the Ontario Provincial Police, The County of Grey, the Town of Blue Mountains, Blue Mountains Village, Clearview Township, The Town of Collingwood, Sportsnet, Toronto Digital Imaging, Wheels of Bloor, VeloFIx, Collingwood Cycling Club, and many others, that this event is possible, Thank you. I look forward to seeing you in May Bruce Bird - Race Director XTB Consulting Inc. 2

Grey County Road Race: Participation Rights Riders can start with: Day license according to the regulations of the National Federation. Most federations however don't require a day license so riders can start without a license. An elite license with exception of: o Any rider who has during the current year been a member of a team registered with the UCI. o Any rider who has taken part in a world championship, the Olympic games, continental championships or games, regional games, the Commonwealth games, or a World Cup during the current year, other than events for masters. o Any rider who has UCI points in any discipline at the moment of the event. Master license Cycling for all license Participants in the World Championships need to have a national Elite/Amateur/Master/Cycling for all license from a UCI affiliated federation. According to UCI regulations, riders with UCI points are not allowed to take part in UGFWS qualifiers or the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. Note: OCA Junior O-Cup participants must follow OCA regulations for participation. Age groups The events offer results in 8 different age groups, for both women and men: Age groups: 19-34y 35-39y 40-44y 45-49y 50-54y 55-59y 60-64y +65y A qualifier event can always organize a separate age category above 70, 75... and if more than 6 riders register, the tickets granted for the World Championships are also given to this age category. In the World Championships, an additional jersey and medals will only be given to the winners of these categories if more than 6 riders register. The 8 titles of the above mentioned age groups are always awarded, even if less than 6 riders register. Age groups are defined by the rider's age on December 31st of that year. Granting of participation rights for the Amateur World Championships Each UGFWS event will grant participation rights for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. By the end of each race, the first 25% athletes of each age group will be awarded with guaranteed entry to the Gran Fondo World Championships and be able to race for the World Champion title. The first three of each age category will always qualify directly for the World Championships, independent of the number of starters in that age group. Riders have to finish the race to be qualified. The 25% is calculated based on the number of starters, not on the number of finished riders. The winners of the slots will be announced on the UCI Gran Fondo World Series website and will be invited by e-mail. Qualifier events hosting only a road race will grant participation rights for both the Gran Fondo World Championships and Time Trial World Championships. Qualifier events hosting a separate time trial and road race will grant the participation rights for the Time Trial World Championships in the time trial qualifier and for the Gran Fondo World Championships in the road race qualifier. Qualifier events hosting a single Time Trial will only grant participation rights for the Time Trial World Championships. In addition, riders who participate in 3 qualifier events during the season will also get their ticket to the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. They don't have to finish in the 25% first in their age category. Please contact info@ucigranfondoworldseries.com to ask for your wildcard. 3

The World Champions of Aalborg-Hobro 2015 are automatically qualified for the 2016 World Championships. This rule is valid for both Time Trial and Road Race, and the World Champions can register for both events. Silver and bronze medal winners will have to qualify again. Registrations for the World Championships are only possible via a registration form on the website. The UGFWS Corporation will keep records of the 50% first athletes of each age group to make a recall, in order to allocate the slots for the Worlds that were not taken by the first 25%. This recall is made by mid July for all events up till mid June and soon after the events for all following events. 4

Grey County Road Race: Race Rules Jerseys OCA Junior O-Cup participants must wear the jersey listed on their license. UGFWS riders are free to wear any jersey they want in the qualifier events. Exceptions to this rule: Reigning World Champions are obliged to wear their official jersey in UGFWS qualifier events Mechanical assistance There will be one neutral service vehicle following each start group to provide basic mechanical assistance. Riders are encouraged to bring their own spare wheels to be placed in the service vehicles before the start of the race. Wheels must be clearly marked with the rider s number. Although efforts will be made to provide a rider s own spare wheels in the event of a mishap, in the interests of servicing riders quickly, a service vehicle may supply wheels at random. The organization is not responsible for damage to wheels even when resulting from use by other riders. Timekeeping and ranking The event is timed for all the participants, during the whole course. Timekeeping will provide an overall final ranking, a ranking for women and another for men. Event Specific Rules This course is not closed. The Yellow Line Rule will be strictly enforced for rider s safety o In order to keep the event safe, you must, stay on the right side of the road. Any rider caught crossing the center line may be disqualified and eliminated from the race. If you are removed from the race and ignore the instruction to do so, you may be subject to further penalties. In case of lightning, the race may be delayed or cancelled. If you are informed that the race has been stopped due to lightning, you are advised to seek shelter until the race can resume. If the race is cancelled, there will be no refund issued. For your safety, if you withdraw from the event for any reason, you must inform the nearest Commissaire that you are no longer racing. Any unreported DNF may result in a severe penalty. In the event of a mishap, riders are strictly forbidden from drafting behind vehicles for lengthy periods in attempting to catch up to their group. Such drafting may result in disqualification. In cases where more than one group is on the course at the same time, riders must remain separate when overtaking or being overtaken by riders from other groups. The races will be held under the rules of the UCI and UCI UGFWS with CCA and OCA modifications. The CCA & OCA rules are available on-line at: http://www.ontariocycling.org/commissaires/commissaires-rules/ The penalty scale of the UCI rulebook and the OCA rulebook for the Junior O-Cup will be applicable. All Non-OCA members must sign a Cycling Canada Waiver at registration or they will not be allowed to start. Races will start promptly at the indicated start times. There will not be a team managers meeting.. Team vehicles and private vehicles with spare parts/bikes are forbidden to follow the race. Only race organization vehicles are permitted to follow the race while in progress. Awards will be presented according to the published schedule. Top-3 finishers are required to attend award presentations or risk forfeiting their awards. Riders must wear their competition uniforms for the presentation. Radio communication is not permitted between riders and anyone else There shall be no parking on race course Photographers must obey traffic laws; do not obstruct traffic The use of glass containers is strictly prohibited during the race. Safety Regulations Mandatory helmet: The UCI takes a very hard line on the wearing of a helmet. Wearing a helmet will be compulsory for all UGFWS 18

events, throughout the whole race. Participants are barred from the start or their race number will be immediately withdrawn if they are caught by a member of the organization without their helmet. Per CCA rule 1.3.031 N) At all times when participating in or preparing for an event held in Canada, all licensees who are mounted on a bicycle shall wear a securely fastened helmet that meets a recognized cycling standard for the specific discipline. Riders shall provide documented proof of this, such as a manufacturer's label, upon request by event officials. Medical certificate: To confirm the physical capability of a cyclist to take part in a UGFWS bike race, the organizer requires one of the following guarantees: 1. Either that the participant holds a license (which is issued on presentation of a medical certificate to the effect that there is no medical reason why the participant should be unable to practice cycling) issued by a national cycling federation affiliated to the UCI 2. Or that the participant holds a medical certificate to the effect that there is no medical reason why the participant should be unable to practice cycling, which has been issued by a doctor 3. Or that the participant attests to (and signs) the fact that he is in perfect health and fit for the physical effort required for such a cycling race, UGFWS declines all liability if health problems are experienced during the event. As the good health of cyclists is one of the overriding concerns of the UCI, we prefer options a) and b) above. 4. During the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships, only riders with a national year license are allowed, so a medical certificate is not necessary. Accident and third party liability insurance: UGFWS organizing events assure that all cyclists who wish to take part in an event forming part of the UGFWS hold accident insurance and third party liability insurance. To facilitate access to its event, in particular for cyclists travelling from foreign countries, the organizer provides the possibility for all participants to take out one-day insurance. Safety on the course Safety plan: The event Emergency Action Plan has been prepared by Odyssey Medical Identification of danger points: The organizer takes care to indicate all the danger points on the course Following vehicles: For sporting fairness and to avoid possible problems, riders will be eliminated immediately if they are caught benefiting from vehicular assistance from a third party not belonging to the organization. First aid Emergency system: Odyssey Medical will be providing medical support for the event and be positioned at the Start / Finish area A first responder will be following behind each group on the road The organizer provides a first aid kit to provide minor assistance to cyclists at the start, finish and at all feed zones.
