Home Sports Benjamin’s Bakery supports final leg of GCF Time Trials in Berbice
The popular Benjamin’s Bakery at Fyrish on the Corentyne Coast in East Berbice has thrown its full support behind the final leg of the Guyana Cycling Federation’s (GCF’s) Time Trials that are set to pedal off on Sunday, December 13 in Berbice.
These Time Trials will be held in memory of the late champion cyclist Wilbert Benjamin, whose demise was due to an accident that occurred earlier this year, and the ‘race’ is expected to pedal off at 9:00h from Palmyra and finish at Benjamin’s Sport and Fitness Centre at Fyrish.
Last Tuesday, cycling coach and ‘race’ organiser Randolph Roberts received the sponsorship from Kevon Benjamin.
This event will witness three categories of contestants: the open, veterans and juveniles. Awards will be given to the first three top cyclists in the open category. Additionally, the first three juveniles and veterans would also receive awards.
Roberts has expressed gratitude to the sponsors, and is hoping that the event would successfully be held.
In the first two Time Trials, Marlon Williams and Briton John clocked the respective best times in the events held on the East Coast of Demerara, followed by the Linden leg.
The GCF had been granted permission by the relevant authorities to host these races. During the opening leg, all cyclists were required to undergo a temperature test and wear a face mask, which had been made available. Social-distancing protocols were also observed, and are expected to continue at these racing events.
Cyclists are asked to be prompt, and those interested in participating in this Berbice leg are invited to contact Randolph Roberts on 628-8211.
