Reece, Dick for Trinidad Easter cycle race meet
Leading Guyana up and coming cyclists, Berbicians Neal Reece and Marica Dick of the Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC) will wing out of the country shortly to represent their club at the International Easter Grande Pre Cycling Track event in the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Reece, who has recently entered the ranks of a senior rider, was once Guyana’s national junior champion, while Dick who is a sixth form student of the New Amsterdam Multilateral Secondary school where she is into her final year of her CAPE studies, is the national Junior champion female rider and one of the top female rider in the country.
The meet which will be held from the 29th to the 31st of March will be staged at two venues namely Arima Park and Skinner Park cycling arenas in the twin island republic.
Both cyclists have represented their clubs overseas before but, the meet will be the first time for Dick who will also be riding on a banked track for the first time, while Reece has experience in banked track riding before.
They will be accompanied by experienced coach and founder of the FACC Randolph Roberts.
During the week the club received a sizable donation from The Berbice Bridge Company Inc (BBCI) which will go a far way in assisting with offsetting expenses for the trip and the cyclist stay overseas. Doing the honours on behalf of the BBCI was Operations Manager Jainarine Koosial who made the donation to Reece in the presence of Dick and Roberts.
A number of other companies and individuals also pitched in with their assistance; among them A. Ally and Sons, Furniture World, Banks DIH Limited, Paul Arokium, Lloyd and Kim’s Fashion, John Lewis president of FACC, Pawan Taxi Service, Dr. and Mrs Sooknanan, Mr. Elwin Jones, Mangru’s Enterprise Sudesh plumbing and Geddes Grant Na Branch. The cyclist on behalf of their club executives and coach expressed their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the wonderful gestures of all those who assisted. (Samuel Whyte)
