Exciting mountain bike racing returns to the National Park this Sunday which the Guyana’s two-man team of Jude Bentley and Keon ‘Duracell’ Thomas will use as the final tune up for Caribbean Mountain Bike Championships.
Just Monday last the previous 10-lap mountain bike race was held at this venue where Thomas copped the top honours. It is expected that second placed, Paul Denobrega and third placed Oziah ‘Gold Teeth’ McAulley will be looking to even the score, while Julio Melville and Raul Leal should pose serious competition.
