Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) under its Diamond Mineral Water brand yesterday handed over a cheque to President of the Carlton Wheelers Cycling Club, Hassan Mohamed for hosting his Eighth Annual Youth Programme March 23 at the National Park.
Sales Manager at DDL, Alexis Langhorne also presented the Club with Diamond Mineral Water that will be used to rehydrate the cyclists during and after the race.
In handing over the cheque, Langhorne noted that DDL has always been keen on supporting cycling in the country and this year has been no exception.
“We are very proud to be using our Diamond Mineral Water brand and product to help the cyclist perform at their optimum. Diamond Mineral Water has been supporting these races for the past eight years and is quite happy with the planning and execution of the competition,” Langhorne said.
The partnership was hailed as an incredible impact on the sport since it has provided cyclists the opportunity to compete and enhance their skills.
“Diamond Mineral Water is proud of its contributions toward the spectrum of sports in Guyana and is committed to the development and promotion of sports as a healthy form of entertainment,” Langhorne continued.
Ian Jackson will attempt to defend his title in the featured 35-lap School Boys and Invitational race, which he won last year. A new Champion will be crowned in the junior race, as last year’s winner Raynauth Jeffrey has moved up to the senior level.
Shameer Baksh is the defending champion of the Veteran’s race. Other races for the day include the BMX Open, 6-9, 9-12 and 12-14 years, Uprights and Mountain Bikes.
