he rode away with the honours when the Flying Ace Cycle Club staged an impromptu 50-mile event that commenced at the Reliance Police Station, East Canje and proceeded to Number 43 Village, Corentyne before turning back for the culmination in front of Lewis General Store, Rose Hall Town Corentyne.
The cyclists were really geared up for the annual Banks Aqua Mist Cycle Race but the organizers, coach, Randolph Roberts, in collaboration with Flying Ace Cycle Club, encountered difficulties and were forced to cancel that event and they opted for the above mentioned one.
Crawford edged out Thuran Harris in one hour and fifty three minutes after the former cyclist broke away from the start with Audrel Ross in tow. A few miles later, the riders were bunched but the persistent Crawford successfully separated himself once again but could not hold the advantage for long as the bunch caught up with him.
The battle for supremacy continued and Crawford, Thuran Harris, Ross, Akeem Wilkinson and Andrew Hicks assumed the lead and this trend continued close to the finish until Crawford, with a burst of speed, crossed the finish line with Harris and Andrew Hicks finishing second and third respectively. Wilkinson was some way behind as he came in fourth. Andrew Green finished fifth with Ray Millington sixth. Hicks clinched five of the six sprint point prizes, while Wilkinson took the other. Marica Dick was the lone female participant and was only required to ride from Reliance East Canje to Rose Hall Town.
The winners and those completing the top spots received lucrative prizes donated by the business community even as Roberts expressed gratitude to the sponsors for their chivalry including Reborn Lewis and Dexter Bhajader.
