Cyclists will be happy that since the season pedaled off last month, there has been no respite. That trend is set to continue this Sunday when the Roraima Bikers Club (RBC) brings off the 7th annual George Cumberbatch Memorial Cycle Meet around the Seawall Bandstand Circuit, Georgetown.
Yesterday at RBC headquarters (Ketley Street, Charlestown) sponsors, George Humphrey of Humphrey’s Bakery & Farm Products and former National rider Clifford ‘Toto’ Johnson announced the staging of this year’s event in honour of their former colleague and friend.
This Meet is held to commemorate the memory of former National cyclist, George Cumberbatch who was a close friend and fierce competitor with Clifford ‘Toto’ Johnson who recalled the many exciting years the two riders had competing against each other and for Guyana.
Johnson who also served as Vice President of the Guyana Cycling Federation, Vice President of RBC and later President said he was very pleased and happy to be back home from London where he resides for half of the year to keep the memory of his former colleague going.
George Humphrey, current Patron of RBC also stated his pleasure in partnering with Johnson to honour the memory of his former friend who made an indelible contribution towards the sport in Guyana. Humphrey has been a major supporter and investor of cycling in Guyana.
Sunday’s activity will see six races being contested with the feature 30-lap contest expected to attract the best cyclists in Guyana at the senior and junior levels. Based on the competitive nature of the races that have been competed so far this season, fans can gear up for another exciting feature event. Ten sprint prizes will also be at stake in the main attraction.
There will also be races for Juvenile/Junior/Category 4 (5-laps); Categories 1-3 (5-laps);
Veterans Under-50 years (5laps); Veterans Over-50 years (5-laps) and a new addition – Win and out which will be an open contest for all riders.
