The Professional Key Shop, Go for Glory Guyana/Suriname cycle group ride, pedaled off at 06:00hrs this morning from the National Park Enroute to Corriverton, Berbice for its first leg.
According to organizer, Quincy Kwame Ridley of the Professional Key Shop which is situated at 125 Carmichael Street, the event which is being undertaken by nine local cyclists, is not a competition and has three stages.
He informed that the first leg covers a distance of 115 miles and the second leg will commence on Friday from Corriverton and proceed to Nickerie in Suriname, a distance of 80 miles. Ridley said that third and final led will commence on Saturday at Nickerie and proceed to Paramaribo for a distance of 80 miles; a total of 275 miles or 348km.
Those taking part are Paul Choo-Wee-Nam, Khemwell Moses, Adeli Hodge, Paul De Nobrega, Walter Grant-Stuart, Marcus Keiler, Deeraj Gabarran, Alanzo Ambrose and Kwame Ridley.
This event, the first of its kind, is the brainchild of Ridley who indicated that due to his love for the sport he decided to proceed in organising this event. “I participated in several races and I wanted to do something challenging for the cyclists, so I put forwarded this initiative and I am happy that it materialized.”
He is hoping that this event will help to promote the athletes and stated that there are three other events slated for 2020 under the Go for Glory brand. He expressed gratitude to the cyclists, sponsors and clubs, adding that he is looking forward to their continued support. The clubs that will be represented are; Team Evolution, United, Alanis, Coco’s and Continental. The event is being sponsored by KGM Security, Gomes Mining, Atlantic Marine Mining Supplies, Geo Tech, Smart Click, Asif Auto Import, Taj Mahal Hotel, Smart Click, Ansa McAl, Totness Palace Hotel and Savore Hotel, both of Suriname.
