Forbes Burnham Memorial cycle race pedals off tomorrow

The annual Forbes Burnham Memorial cycle race will pedal off tomorrow, Sunday February 19, from Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown and travel to Belfield, ECD before returning to Carifesta Avenue for the grand finish.
The race will commence at 14:00h, and categories to be contested are Open, Juniors and Veterans. The top six finishers, top three Juniors and top four Veterans would be rewarded. This race is sponsored by the Burnham Foundation, and is supervised by the Flying Stars Cycling Club.
Top cyclists Briton John, Jamaul John and Andre ‘Padlock’ Green are expected to feature at this event. In the last race held, Briton John stopped the clock in one hour, nine minutes, 24 seconds to shatter the 35-lap circuit race time at the inner circuit of the National Park. That was the record time at this venue for a race of such nature.
In the 2022 staging of the Burnham Memorial race, a total of 48 riders had taken part on the same route, and it was the impressive Jamaul John who stole the headlines.
Representing Team Foundation, Jamaul John had powered to victory over the course in a time of one hour, 11 minutes and 23 seconds. He defeated Lyn Murray, Christopher Griffith, Alexis Mendes, Alexander Leung and Marcus Keiler in that order.
Marica Dick of We Stand United team was the lead female involved in that race.
The other categories resulted in Alexander Leung of We Stand United claiming the Junior Category by beating Arjune Sukhai and Akon Europe respectively.
Veterans Under-50 had produced triumph for Lyn Murray, who came ahead of Alexis Mendes, Paul Chow-wee-nam and Warren McKay. Veterans Over-50 had seen Ian Jackson powering home ahead of Talim Shaw and Shameer Baksh.
