Since 2005, when the Goulburn Cycle Club established the tour, it has cemented its place as the biggest and most successful junior tour in NSW and one of the biggest in Australia.

The Tour is a selection event for the NSW Junior Road Team and Round Two of the NSW Junior Road Series. It's expected to attract riders from a wide area, including Victoria, South Australia and Queensland.

Tour Director Graeme Northey, said the region provided ideal conditions for riders.

"The Cullerin Road course which starts and finishes at Cullerin Road in Gunning, is ideal for a major junior event with minimal traffic making it safe, particularly for the very young and less experienced riders," he said.

"The terrain is testing but not too difficult to cater for all abilities."

There are four stages to the tour. Day One will include both Stage One and Stage Two.

Stage One, commencing at 10am, will see all age groups ride for a 5.4km round trip.

Stage Two is a road race, commencing at 12:15pm - with staggered start times across the age groups - will see varying distances from 5.4km to 67km.

Day Two will include Stage Three and Stage Four.

Stage Three, commencing at 9am for Time Trials, has distances from 3km to 13km varying for the different age groups.

Stage Four is a road race, commencing at 11:45am - again with staggered start times - will also see varying distances between 7km to 45km for the different age groups.

Goulburn Cycle Club President, Adam Lambert, thanked the Workers Club and council for their ongoing support of the event.

"Goulburn Cycle Club is grateful for the support of the Goulburn Workers Club and the significant support that Goulburn Mulwaree Council has provided," he said.

"Club members and supporters have been an integral part of the Tour's success by volunteering each year."

Admission is free for spectators.
