It should have come off a few weeks ago but had to be put off due to the unusual rainy season which has become unpredictable.
But organisers, Roraima Bikers Club (RBC) and sponsors Bryden & Fernandes, part of the John Fernandes Group of Companies, have disclosed that the inaugural 10-race Meet around the Seawall Bandstand will now come off this Sunday, August 18, 2013.
RBC would have also teamed up with the National Milling Company of Guyana (NAMILCO) to bring off a Seawall Bandstand Meet (10th annual CARICOM Day Meet) and they have said that this is geared towards restoring spectator interest in the sport.
This event is expected to attract the best exponents of the sport in Guyana, the feature battle will be the 30-lap showdown, dubbed the Bryden & Fernandes Classic which will see the top six being rewarded, and first prize is $10,000.
Other races set for Sunday include the 12-14 Juveniles (3 laps), Junior/Category Four (5 laps), Category 1-3 (5 laps), Veteran Over-50 (5 laps), Veteran Under-50 (5 laps), Team Time Trials (4 laps), Win and Out (8 laps), Mountain Bike Open (5 laps) and Female Open (5 laps). The first three riders to cross the line in the above races will all be rewarded.
