R&R 11-race cycling on this Saturday

Feb 07, 2013 Sports

– 40 mile road race set for Feb. 24

The cycling season will continue this Saturday with the 22nd annual R&R International sponsored 11-race Meet at the inner circuit of the National Park. The event is being held in observance of Guyana’s 43rd Republic Anniversary and will get underway at 09:00 hours.
Seasoned campaigner Robin Persaud, who has not been in the limelight so far this year, will be aiming to successfully defend the feature 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race.
Persaud won last main race in a One Hour 17 Minutes 34 Seconds but will be hard pressed to repeat given the form some of his rivals have displayed to date.
Among those in contention are Alonzo Greaves, Raul Leal, Warren ‘Forty’ McKay, Geron Williams, John Charles, Paul DeNobrega and Raynauth Jeffrey, Orville Hinds, Rastaff O’Selmo.
DeNobrega, who won the Junior/Juvenile 10-lap contest last year in 23 Minutes 27 Seconds will involuntarily give way to a new champion since he has now graduated to the senior ranks.
Raymond Newton will be looking to keep a hold on the Veterans Under-50 title having won last year in 11 Minutes 35 Seconds but will have to get past old nemesis Junior Niles who has virtually lay claim to this category.
Meanwhile, R&R International will also sponsor the annual 40 Mile Road Race on February 24 on the West Demerara roadways to coincide with Mashramani celebrations as well.
In its 22nd year, the race will pedal off from the Demerara Harbour Bridge at 09:00 hours, proceed to Bushy Park, Parika, East bank Essequibo before returning to the point of origin for the finish.
Persaud is also defending champion of the senior category having won last year’s event in One Hour 45 Minutes 16 Seconds. A new champion will be crowned in the Junior division which was taken last year by DeNobrega. Talim Shaw took the Open Veterans top spot last year.
Former cyclist and current Managing Director of R&R International, Jacob Rambarran, will be on hand to assist with the presentation of prizes at the conclusion of both events.
