9th Regan Rodrigues Memorial on this Sunday on West Dem.
The Main thoroughfare on the West Demerara will again be the centre of attraction on Sunday when the 9th annual Regan Rodrigues Memorial 50-mile cycle road race comes off, sponsored by Ricks & Sari Agro Industries Limited.
Defending champion, Robin Persaud is expected to line up against his fellow peers in what is anticipated to be another exciting duel. Race time is 08:00hrs from the Wales Police Station on the West Bank of Demerara, proceeding to Bushy Park on the East Bank of Essequibo before returning to the Demerara Harbor Bridge for the finish.
Flashback! Robin Persaud cruises to the finish line last year.
The usual categories apart from the open (juniors, veterans, mountain bike, female and veteran over-60) will be contested.
The first six overall will be rewarded along with the top three in the other categories and the top over-60. Eight prime prizes will be up for the taking.
The Late Regan Rodrigues who was called to higher service on August 4, 2004, was a former President of the Guyana Cycle Federation, President of the Carlton Wheelers Cycle Club, a former Motor Racing Driver and Sport’s Enthusiast.
A new junior champion will emerge since Raynauth Jeffrey, last year’s winner, has now graduated to the senior ranks. Naiomi Singh won for females while Walter Isaacs took the Over-60 trophy.
