Kaieteur Sports – Local cycling has been making enormous strides in Guyana in recent years. With the Government of Guyana (GoG) spearheading initiatives through the Ministry of Sports and its One Guyana Initiatives, the sport is experiencing a significant revival. From the largest-ever allocation of funds for sports development at the last national budget to hosting the prestigious Caribbean Cycling Championship, cycling has regained its momentum as a celebrated discipline on the local scene.

The cycling fraternity concluded a robust and competitive calendar year, marked by notable achievements both locally and internationally. Clubs across the nation successfully hosted their events, providing ample opportunities for youngsters, senior riders, and female cyclists to demonstrate their prowess and passion.
The Flying Ace Cycle Club (FACC), regarded as the engine room of the local cycling community, has particularly benefited from this resurgence. Expressing profound gratitude, the club’s executive and former President of the Guyana Cycling Federation Linden Dowridge, extended heartfelt thanks to the GoG and the business community for their unwavering support throughout the year.
“As an executive at the FACC, I take this time to extend my warmest holiday greetings to you and your loved ones,” Dowridge shared. “The holiday season, being a time of reflection and gratitude, gives us a chance to recognize just how deeply we appreciate your angelic gesture of sponsorship and your general support to cycling. Without your contributions, cycling may have been dormant. Because of your generosity, the fraternity is enthusiastic about the 2025 season.”
