After enduring the rigors of the recently concluded ‘Ride for Life’ Five-Stage cycle road race, local riders will return to the National Park on Saturday for the inaugural Payless Variety Store 11-race programme.
Organiser of the day’s activities, Hassan Mohamed, informed that the entity has offered to sponsor the race, which will pedal off at 09:00 hours.
Mohamed said he’s pleased to welcome the company on board, and looks forward to a long and fruitful relationship as they seek to work together in the interest of developing the sport. Saturday’s event will be headlined by the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race, which should attract a highly competitive field of riders.
Five-Stage junior champion Paul DeNobrega and trio Michael Anthony, Raul Leal and Raynauth Jeffrey will look to continue their good form and test the ‘big boys’, among them Eric Sankar, Robin Persaud, Geron Williams, Alonzo Greaves and Junior Niles.
Other races planned for the day include the Veterans Under-50, Over-50, Over-60, Juveniles, Upright, BMX Open, 6-9, 9-12 and 12-14.
Representatives of Payless Variety Store are expected to assist in the presentation of prizes at the conclusion of the races.
