The curtains were pulled on all cycling meets for 2025 on Sunday last when Team Alanis Cycling Club, in collaboration with Ele’s Trading & Hardware, hosted a 48+ mile cycle road race on the West Bank Demerara (WBD) and West Coast Demerara (WCD).
The race rode off from Schoonord, WBD, and the peloton will thunder their way to Parika and back, conquering nearly 50 miles of pure speed, power, and endurance.
The riders delivered a thrilling and highly competitive finale to end the 2025 cycling season. In a strong performance, Briton John powered to victory, stopping the clock at 1hr 43min 20sec.
In the Elite/Seniors category Briton John was followed by Kwame Ridley, Jamaul John, Alex, Newton and Alexander Leung. In the Masters Category, Kwame Ridley crossed the finish line first, followed by Jaikaran Sookhai and Robin Persaud.
Alex Newton won the Junior Category, followed by Alexander Leung and Ajani Cutting, while James Joseph powered over the line to win the Masters Over 50 Category, followed by Mark Spencer and Nigel London.
In Category Four, Julio Melville copped the chequered flag with Tyrone Hamilton closely behind and Collis Williams in third. Dinesh Sookhai won the Juvenile category.
However, three of the spirit prizes were secured by Kwame Ridley, Briton John copped two, Alexander Leung carted off two and Jamaul John won one.
The organisers expressed their gratitude to Ele’s Trading and Hardware, Team Alanis Cycling Club, and the Guyana Police Force for ensuring the safety and smooth flow of the event.
