Guyana’s 4-member Cycling Team made up of reigning Junior Road Race Champion Raynauth Jeffrey, Paul De Nobrega along with Juveniles Raul Leal and Michael Anthony left the Land of Many Waters yesterday for the Dominican Republic where they will compete at the rescheduled Junior Caribbean Cycling Championship, September 15-16.
The championship was called off last month owing to the threat of Tropical Storm Issac. The Guyanese team under Manager Wayne De Abreu was about to board their flight in the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago when they were told that it was off.
Eager to represent their country and bring back gold, the confident team have indicated that they are ready for the challenge of taking on their Caribbean counterparts this weekend.
The Guyana team is fully sponsored by Manager of the Miami based Team Cocoas, Guyanese Ian Davis aka QB. Davis has invested US$4,500 towards the participation and encouragement of these junior and juvenile riders for the Caribbean championships.
