The race heats up on Friday, November 15 when the riders pedal off from Wales Police Station at 09:00 hrs and proceed to Bushy Park EBE for another 35 Miles (56Km) journey.
After a good night’s rest, the riders will once again take to the saddle on Saturday, November 16 at 07:30hrs from Supenaam, also on the Essequibo Coast, proceed to Charity before returning to Suddie. This leg of the race covers some 67 Miles (107.05Km). The final leg of the race, 64.6 miles (103.3km) gets underway on Sunday, November 17 from Kara Kara to Homestretch Avenue.
Transportation for cyclists and officials leave the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, Main Street at 12:30hrs on Wednesday, November 13, for Corriverton.
