Former national cyclist among sponsors of August 7 race in Berbice

Former national junior cyclist George Tathal is among the sponsors of the upcoming 40-mile race organised by the Flying Ace Cycling Club (FACC) and scheduled to be staged in the ancient county of Berbice on Sunday, August 7, from 9:00h.

That race is open to Berbice cyclists only, and will be contested from Alexander Street in New Amsterdam to Adventure Village on the Corentyne Coast, before returning to the point of origin for what is anticipated to be an exciting finish.
According to FACC President Randolph Roberts, eight sprint prizes will be up for grabs, and the categories contested would be Open, Juniors, and Juveniles. The first four finishers in the Open category would be rewarded, as would the first three Juniors and the first three Juveniles.
Interestingly, this race is expected to see the return of National Champion Romello Crawford, who is fresh from a stint in the United States of America. Andre ‘Padlock’ Green – who has been in and around the top five finishers throughout the year, and is one of the most competitive riders in Berbice – would also be on show, along with young Mario Washington.
According to Roberts, more races would be staged in August, and he is expecting more sponsors to come on board for these events.
