Jul 25, 2013 Sports

 

 
The Flying Ace Cycle Club continues to keep the sport on the move in Berbice and has organised another cycling event in the ancient county.  The Club will this Sunday, 28th July, be organising the 8th Annual Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) 40-mile cycle road race along the Corentyne Coast.
The event will see the cyclist riding off from in front of the Bank at around 10:00 hrs and journey to Nand Persaud and Company Limited on the Corentyne Coast before returning to its place of origin. The race, which is for Berbicians only, is expected to see cyclists from two clubs participating, with the riders from the FACC expected to be joined by those from the newly formed Trojan Cycle club and it is expected to be keenly contested.
Defending champion Dwight Holder, now donning Trojan colours, is expected to be hard press to retain his title by multiple champion Neil Reece whom he dethroned last year to take the title. Other top riders like Elijah Brijadder, Syborne Fernandes, Gary Benjamin the Crawford brothers will be on show.
Defending female champion Marica Dick is expected to have things her way on the distaff side.
The bank recently handed over the sponsorship package to coordinator and coach of the Club Randolph Roberts.
Prizes which will include trophies cash and other incentives will be awarded to the first six finishers in the open category.
The top three finishers in the junior category, the first three females and first veteran riders will all be awarded while 10 prime point prizes will also be up for grabs.
The race will be started by officials of the bank who will also be on hand to present the prizes.
Randolph Roberts is the coordinator.  (Samuel Whyte)
