Nov 24, 2010 Sports

What can be described as yet another busy year for the sport of cycling will come to an end on Sunday when National Coach Hassan Mohamed brings off the 11th Diamond Mineral Water sponsored 50 mile event on the West Coast of Demerara.
This event has been on the cycling calendar as the final event for the year for quite some time and all local riders are eagerly awaiting this clash to end the year on a high.
Tony Simon, the winner of last year’s race will be aiming for a repeat but will find the likes of Alonzo Greaves, Geron Williams, Junior Niles, Walter Grant-Stuart, Chris Persaud, Eric Sankar, Eon Jackson and Robin Persaud among others.
The junior category will be as exciting as ever with defending champion of this category Neil Reece set to receive keen competing from Inter Guiana Games winner Paul De Nobrega, Reece having to settle for third behind French Guiana’s Lavenette Christian.
The female category will see the successful Inter Guiana Games duo of Marica Dick and Naiomi Singh going for glory in the final hurrah for the year.
Linden Blackman had won the veterans while Jude Bentley had taken the upright category last year.  Sunday’s battle begins at the Wales Police Station at 09:00hrs proceeds to Bushy Park on the East Bank of Essequibo before returning to the Demerara Harbour Bridge for the finish.
Veteran and upright cyclists will turn back at Uitvlugt Community Centre and return to finish at the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
The first six (6) finishers will receive prizes including the first three (3) juniors, veterans, upright as well as the first female to finish.  Eight prime prizes will also be up for grabs among the seniors.
Representatives of sponsor Demerara Distillers Limited’s Diamond Mineral Water – The Choice of Champions – will be hand to assist at the presentation ceremony after the event.
