The event, which is open only to Berbicians, pedals off at 08:00 from Main and Lad Lane, proceed to Adventure on the Corentyne Coast and back to the starting point for the finish.
There are a number of attractive incentives that will be on offer for the outstanding participants, including those for the top six finishers, along with the outstanding, veterans, juveniles, BMX, upright and female riders.
The cyclists will also be gunning for the eight sprint point prizes that are on offer.
Commissioner of Police Henry Greene and Director of prisons Dale Erskine along with Mr. Henry will send the cyclist on their way and be on hand to distribute the prizes at the end of the race.
Among other prominent persons who would be on hand to assist with the prize giving exercise, which takes place at the Guinness Bar, are former Mayor Errol Alphonso, Mayor Claude Henry, commander of Police B division Assistant Commissioner George Vyphuis, B Division Crime and Traffic officers, superintendents Marlon Chapman and Owen Trotz and prominent attorney-at-law Mursuline Bacchus.

He now resides in the United States, and since his return to here for a holiday, has been organising a number of community-base activities. He has pledged to help revive some of those sport disciplines that have once made Guyana proud during his playing days.
