Cyclists in the ancient county will this Sunday (1st June) have an opportunity to compete when the Flying Ace Cycling Club of Berbice along with coach Randolph Roberts once again organises a cycling event for riders in Berbice.
The event, which is a 40 miles affair, is sponsored by a number of businesses in Berbice. The race is expected to pedal off at 08:30 hrs from in front of the Outar Motor Rewinding Establishment in No 2 East Canje, proceed to Bush Lot on the Corentyne before turning back to finish in front of the First Impression Hotel at Hampshire Corentyne Berbice.
Prizes will be awarded to the first eight finishers and the first female riders to cross the finish line.
There will also be eight prime point prizes up for grabs. The females will race over a shorter distance. According to Roberts, the race will be used as a warm up for the annual Aqua Mist Cycle event sponsored Banks DIH Limited slated for the 8th June in Berbice.
Cyclists from both the FACC and Trojan Cycle clubs are expected to renew battle with the likes of Andrea ‘Padlock’ Green, Ray Millington, the Crawford cousins Romallo and Jebon, Elijah Brijadder, Andrew Hicks, Wasim Hassnu, Audrel Ross, Edmond Francis, Keith Griffith, Gary Benjamin, Turhan Harris and Syborne Fernandes among others.
